Interpretation:
From the given n value, the number of subshellshas to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Principal Quantum Number (n): In an atom, theelectron energy mainly depends on principal quantum number. The energy of an electron becomes lower when the value of n is smaller. The orbital size also depends on n. The size of orbital increases with increase in value of principal quantum number (n)
Magnetic Quantum Number (
Spin Quantum Number (
