Solution

The correct option is B 2, 6, 10, 14
The maximum number of electrons in a subshell can be given by a formula 2×(2l + 1).
For s subshell, the value of l = 0
Hence, maximum number of electrons in s-subshell = 2×(2×0+1)
= 2

SubshellValue of lMaximum number of electrons in the subshell (2×(2l+1))s 0 2×(2×(0)+1)=2 p 1 2×(2×(1)+1)=6 d 2 2×(2×(2)+1)=10 f 3 2×(2×(3)+1)=14
