Maximum number of electrons in a subshell of an atom is determined by the following

Maximum number of electrons in a subshell of an atom is determined by the following
  1. $4 l+2$
  2. $2 l+1$
  3. $4 l-2$
  4. $2 n^2$

Solution

Total number of subshells $=(2 l+1)$ $\therefore$ Maximum number of electrons in the subshell $=2(2 \mathrm{l}+1)=4 \mathrm{l}+2$
