Vedclass · Answer

(D) For a given energy level $n$, the total number of orbitals is given by $n^2$.For $n=4$, the total number of orbitals $= 4^2 = 16$.Each orbital can hold a maximum of $2$ electrons with opposite spins, i.e.,$+\frac{1}{2}$ and $-\frac{1}{2}$.Since there are $16$ orbitals, the total number of electrons is $16 	imes 2 = 32$.Out of these $32$ electrons, exactly half will have a spin value of $+\frac{1}{2}$.Therefore, the number of electrons with spin $+\frac{1}{2} = \frac{32}{2} = 16$.Thus, the values are $16$ and $16$.

The maximum number of orbitals present in $n=4$ energy level of an atom and the maximum number of electrons with spin value $+\frac{1}{2}$ in the same orbitals are, respectively.
