Consider the ground state of Cr atom . The numbers of electrons with the azimuthal quantum numbers are, respectively:
As we have learnt,
The electronic configuration of Cr atom is = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d5 4s1
Now, we know that for p, l = 1 and for d, l = 2
So, for p, there are a total of 12 electrons and for d, there are a total of 5 electrons.
Therefore, Option (2) is correct
