The maximum number of electrons that can have principal quantum number, , and spin quantum number, , is

Answer: 9

Solution

For principal quantum number :

Number of orbitals =

These orbitals are: 3s (1), 3p (3), 3d (5) = 9 orbitals total

Each orbital can hold one electron with .

Therefore, the maximum number of electrons with and is 9.
