Fa shell can hold a maximum of 32 electrons, what is the value of n? 2 3 4 5

4

Explanation:

Principle Quantum Numbers: This quantum number describes the size of the orbital. It is represented by n.

Azimuthal Quantum Number: This quantum number describes the shape of the orbital. It is represented as 'l'. The value of l ranges from 0 to (n-1). For l = 0,1,2,3... the orbitals are s, p, d, f...

Magnetic Quantum Number: This quantum number describes the orientation of the orbitals. It is represented as . The value of this quantum number ranges from . When l = 2, the value of will be -2, -1, 0, +1, +2.

Given : a f subshell, thus l = 3 , Thus the subshells present would be 3, 2, 1, 0 and thus n will have a value of 4.

Also electrons give are 32.

The formula for number of electrons is .

Thus principal quantum no will be n= 4.

neutrons are in the middle of the atom and the electrons, which are much smaller.

is there multiple choice answers?
