(a) How many sub-shells are associated w | Class 11 Chemistry Chapter Structure of Atom, Structure of Atom NCERT Solutions

Question:

(a) How many sub-shells are associated with n = 4?

(b) How many electrons will be present in the sub-shells having ms value of –1/2 for n = 4?

Answer:

(a) n = 4 (Given)

For a given value of ‘n’, ‘l’ can have values from zero to (n – 1).

∴ l = 0, 1, 2, 3

Thus, four sub-shells are associated with n = 4, which are s, p, d and f.

 

(b) Number of orbitals in the nth shell = n2

For n = 4

Number of orbitals = 16

Each orbital has one electron with ms = -1/2

Hence there will be 16 electrons with ms = -1/2
