Question : 31
Total: 67
How many electrons in an atom may have the following quantum number?
(a) n = 4, ms = –1/2
(b) n = 3, l = 0
Solution:  
(a) Total number of electrons in n = 4 is 2n2 = 2(4)2 = 32
But half of these electrons have ms = –1/2
∴ Number of electrons = 16
(b) Number of electrons = 2 [Since 3s subshell]
