How many electrons can fit in the orbital for which $$n = 3\,{\text{and}}\,I = 1\,?$$
A.
2
B.
6
C.
10
D.
14
Answer :
2
Solution :
According to Hund’s rule of maximum multiplicity, An orbital can accommodate a
maximum number of 2 electrons of exactly opposite spin. Hence, option (A) is correct. Caution Remember, maximum number of electrons in an orbital do not depend upon the quantum numbers as given in the question.
