Q3. The atom with the given atomic number Z=17, and the atomic mass A=35.5 is
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Here l = 3 means the sub shell is f and n = 4 means it is present in 4th orbit. Finally it is a 4f sub shell. The no of orbital in f sub shell =2l+1=2×3+1=7 Each orbital can accommodate 2 electrons. 7×2=14 electrons. Maximum number of electrons in a sub shell with l=3 and n=4 (4f) is 14 electrons.
