MAXIMUM NUMBER OF




                                                 ELECTRONS





          • Each shell or n contains n subshell




               Example : n = 2;   ℓ = 0, 1




               (two possible subshell): 2s, 2p










          • Each subshell of quantum number ℓ


               contain (2ℓ + 1) orbitals.




               Example:   if ℓ = 1, there are three p



               orbitals.
