    If n and I are respectively, the principal and azimuthal quantum numbers, then the expression for the calculation of the total number of electrons in any energy level is

    A)  \[\sum\limits_{l=0}^{l=n}{2(2l+1)}\]                      

    B)  \[s\sum\limits_{l=n+1}^{l=n-1}{2(2l+1)}\]

    C)  \[\sum\limits_{l=0}^{l=n+1}{2(2l+1)}\]                 

    D)  \[\sum\limits_{l=0}^{l=n-1}{2(2l+1)}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Number of sub-shells (l) in nth shell = 0 to n -1. Number of orbitals in sub-shell \[=2l+1\]. Number of electrons in each orbital = 2. Hence, number of electrons in \[{{\text{n}}^{\text{th}}}\]  shell. \[\sum\limits_{l=0}^{l=n-1}{2(2l+1)}\]
