Question

How many electrons in an atom can have each of the following quantum number or sublevel designations?

a) 2s
b) n=3, l=2
c) 6d
d) Non of the above

Answer 1

The number of electrons that can have each of the given quantum number or sublevel designations are as follows: 2s - 2 electrons, n=3, l=2 - does not exist, 3d - 6 electrons, and none of the above options are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the given quantum number or sublevel designations:

1. a) The 2s subshell can have a maximum of 2 electrons.
2. b) The subshells with quantum numbers n=3 and l=2 do not exist.
3. c) The 3d subshell can have a maximum of 6 electrons.
4. d) None of the above options are correct.
