As we learnt in 

Azimuthal Quantum Number(l) -

For a given value of n, l can have n values ranging from 0 to n – 1, that is, for a given value of n, the possible value of l are : l = 0, 1, 2, ....( n –1)

-

_{24}Cr\rightarrow 1s^{2}\: 2s^{2}\: 2p^{6}\: 3s^{2}\: 3p^{6}\: 3d^{5}\: 4s^{1}

we know for p,l=1\: and \: for\: d,l= 2

F\! or\; l=1,total\: number\: of \: electrons \: = 12\: \: \left [ 2p^{6}\ and\ 3p^{6} \right ]

F\! or\; l=2,total\: number\: of \: electrons \: = 5\: \: \left [ 3d^{5} \right ]
