If n and l are respectively the principal and azimuthal quantum number then the expression for the calculation of the total no. of electrons in any energy level is:
Azimuthal Quantum Number(l): -
It defines the three-dimensional shape of the orbital.
-
Number of subshells in the nth shell = 0 to n-1
Number of orbital in a subshell = 2l+1
Number of electrons in each orbital = 2
Number of e- in the nth shell
