Question
Consider the ground state of $$Cr$$ atom ( $$X$$ = 24 ). The number of electrons with the azimuthal quantum numbers, $$\ell = 1$$ and 2 are, respectively
A.
16 and 4
B.
12 and 5
C.
12 and 4
D.
16 and 5
Answer :
12 and 5
Solution :
Electronic configuration of $$Cr$$ atom ( $$z$$ = 24)
$$\eqalign{
& = 1{s^2},2{s^2}2{p^6},3{s^2}3{p^6}3{d^5},4{s^1} \cr
& \operatorname{When} \,\ell = 1,\,p - {\text{subshell}}, \cr
& {\text{Numbers}}\,{\text{of}}\,{\text{electrons}} = 12 \cr
& {\text{when}}\,\ell = 2,\,d{\text{ - subshell}}, \cr
& {\text{Numbers}}\,{\text{of}}\,{\text{electrons}} = 5 \cr} $$
