Chapter 28, Problem 22P

To determine

There are $\text{18}$ electrons in a $\text{"g"}$ subshell.

Answer to Problem 22P

  $\text{"g"}$ subshell has $\text{18}$ electrons.

Explanation of Solution

Given info: Subshell $\text{"g"}$

Formula used:

The number of electrons is calculated as $N=2\left(2l+1\right)$

Where, $l$ is the orbital quantum number

Calculation:

From spdfg, $\text{"g"}$ subshell has $l=4$ .

So, the number of electrons will be $\text{N=}2\left(2l+1\right)$

  $\text{=}2\left[2\left(4\right)+1\right]$

  $\text{=18}\text{electrons}$

Conclusion:

The given condition is shown.
