ii. The maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in a sublevel for which I=3 is: (a) 2 (b) 10 (c) 6 (d) 14 (e) 8

The correct answer is (d) 14.<br /><br />The maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in a sublevel is determined by the azimuthal quantum number (l). The azimuthal quantum number (l) is related to the angular momentum quantum number (l) and is given by the formula l = 0, 1, 2, 3,..., (n-1), where n is the principal quantum number.<br /><br />In this case, the given value of l is 3. Therefore, the sublevel is the 3d sublevel.<br /><br />The maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in a sublevel is given by the formula 2(2l + 1), where l is the azimuthal quantum number.<br /><br />Substituting the value of l = 3 into the formula, we get:<br /><br />2(2(3) + 1) = 2(6 + 1) = 2(7) = 14<br /><br />Therefore, the maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in the 3d sublevel is 14.
