Question

use the theoretical maximums to answer the following: how many subshells are allowed in shell number 4? 1 how many subshells are allowed in shell number 5? 2 a. 50 b. 5 c. 4 d. 10 e. 12 f. 14 g. 40 h. 32 i. 18

Explanation:

Step1: Recall sub - shell rule

The number of sub - shells in a shell with principal quantum number $n$ is equal to $n$.

Step2: Calculate for shell number 4

For $n = 4$, the number of sub - shells is $n=4$.

Step3: Calculate for shell number 5

For $n = 5$, the number of sub - shells is $n = 5$.

Answer:

1. C. 4
2. B. 5
