The maximum number of 3d electrons having s =+1/2 are
Correct answer: C. 5
- A. 10
- B. 14
- C. 5
- D. 7
Explanation
d subshell has 5 orbitals and each orbital can accomodate only 2 electrons with opposite spins,therefore total 10 electrons can be accomodated,out of which 5 will have s=+1/2 and rest of the five will have s=-1/2.

About Atomic Structure
Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
