The maximum number of electrons in an electronic configuration can be calculated by using formula:
Correct answer: C. 2n2
- A. 2 (2l + 1)
- B. 2n2 + 2
- C. 2n2
- D. 2n2 + 1
Explanation
( 2n^2) n=number of shells A.2(2l+1) is the formula for the number of electrons in a subshell.

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.
