How many electrons can exist with the principal quantum number’s value as 4?(a) 16(b) 4(c) 32(d) 12The question was asked during an online exam.This interesting question is from Quantum Mechanical Model of Atom topic in portion Structure of Atom of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

The correct CHOICE is (c) 32

For explanation: The number of orbitals within an ORBIT is n2. But as each orbital can ACCOMMODATE 2 electrons, the number of electrons that can exist with the “n” as the principal quantum number is 2n^2. So here 2n^2 = 2(4)^2 = 2(16) = 32.
