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

How many electrons can fit in each orbital for which n=3 and l=1?
  1. 2
  2. 6
  3. 10
  4. 14

Solution

\(\mathrm{n}=3 \text { and } \mathrm{l}=1\)
\(\Rightarrow 3 \mathrm{p}\) orbital so 3p orbital can accommodate 6 electrons.
