6

4

2

Answer 1

Answer : The number of electrons in an atom is, 2 electrons

Explanation :

As we know that there are four quantum numbers which are principle quantum number, azimuthal quantum number, magnetic quantum number and spin magnetic quantum number.

The Principle quantum number, n = 3. That means the electron present in the third energy level.

The Azimuthal quantum number, l = 2. That means the electron present in the d sub-shell.

The magnetic quantum number,
`m_l=2`. That means it shows the 2 electrons present in one of the five 3d orbitals.

Hence, the number of electrons in an atom is, 2 electrons
