How many electrons can be held in a sublevel l = 3?

Answer : The number of electrons held in sub-level l = 3 can be, 14 electrons

Explanation :

Azimuthal Quantum Number : It describes the shape of the orbital. It is represented as 'l'. The value of l ranges from 0 to (n-1). For l = 0,1,2,3... the orbitals are s, p, d, f...

Magnetic Quantum Number : It describes the orientation of the orbitals. It is represented as . The value of this quantum number ranges from . When l = 2, the value of will be -2, -1, 0, +1, +2.

Spin Quantum number : It describes the direction of electron spin. This is represented as The value of this is for upward spin and for downward spin.

As we are given that,

 (For each sub-shell)

From this we conclude that, there are 7 orbitals and each orbital contains 2 electrons. So, the number of electrons held in sub-level l = 3 are, electrons.

Hence, the number of electrons held in sub-level l = 3 can be, 14 electrons

i'm assuming that the correct answer is indeed the first one/ "a"..
