Question
(a) If one subshell of an atom has nine electrons in it, what is the minimum value of $l$ ? (b) What is the spectroscopic notation for this atom, if this subshell is part of the $n=3$ shell?
Step 1
The $s$ subshell ($l=0$) can hold 2 electrons, the $p$ subshell ($l=1$) can hold 6 electrons, and the $d$ subshell ($l=2$) can hold 10 electrons. Show more…
