Question

Using the concept of quantum numbers, calculate the maximum numbers of electrons present in the ‘M’ shell. Give their distribution in shells, subshells, and orbitals.

Answer in Brief

Solution

  1. Each main shell contains a maximum of 2n2 electrons.
    For ‘M’ shell, n = 3.
    Therefore, the maximum numbers of electrons present in the ‘M’ shell = 2 × (3)2 = 18.
  2. The distribution of these electrons in shells, subshells, and orbitals can be given as follows:
    Value of n Values of l Values of ml Values of ms
    3 0 0 `±1/2`
    1 −1 `±1/2`
    0 `±1/2`
    +1 `±1/2`
    2 −2 `±1/2`
    −1 `±1/2`
    0 `±1/2`
    +1 `±1/2`
    +2 `±1/2`
