NCERT Class XI Chemistry Structure of Atom Solutions

Question : 67

Total: 67

(a) How many sub-shells are associated with n = 4?
(b) How many electrons will be present in the sub-shells having ms value of –1/2 for n = 4?

Solution:

(a) n = 4, l = 0, 1, 2, 3 [Since l = 0 to n – 1]
∴ Number of sub-shells = 4
(b) Number of electrons having ms = –1/2 =

= 16
[Since Maximum number of electrons = 2n2 = 2 × 42 = 32]
