Maximum number of electrons possible with spin quantum number \(+\frac{1}{2}\) with principal quantum number \(\mathrm{n}=4\) in an atom is

  1. A \(16\)
  2. B \(9\)
  3. C \(4\)
  4. D \(25\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(16\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Maximum number of electrons \(=2 n^2=2 \times 4 \times 4=32(\) when \(n=4)\) Half of the electrons have \(\left(+\frac{1}{2}\right)\) spin, i.e., 16
