Chemistry Question on Structure of atom

How many electrons can fit in the orbital for which n=3n = 3 and l=1l = 1 ?

A

2

B

6

C

10

D

14

Answer

6

Explanation

Solution

n=3 and l=1 ⇒3 p orbital so 3 p orbital can accommodate 6 electrons. \begin{array}{l} n =3 \text { and } l =1\\\ \Rightarrow 3 \text { p orbital so } 3 \text { p orbital can accommodate } 6 \text { electrons. } \end{array}
