Expert Solution
Step 1

In the given question we have to find out the set of quantum number which has maximum number of electrons 

There are four types of quantum number  n, l , m and s 

where,   n represents the energy level of subshells or called as principle quantum number,  l represents the shape of orbital or azimuthal quantum number , m represents the orientation of orbital or magnetic quantum number and s  shows spin of electron or spin quantum number. 

we have to write the subshells by using the given quantum number then find out the maximum number of electron in which subshell has,
