Consider the ground state of Cr atom (Z = 24). The numbers of electrons with the azimuthal quantum numbers, l = 1 and 2 are, respectively

a) 12 and 4
b) 12 and 5
c) 16 and 4
d) 16 and 5

Answer: b
Explanation: ₂₄Cr → 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d⁵ 4s¹
As we know for p, l = 1 and d, l = 2
For l = 1, total number of electrons = 12 [2p⁶ and 3p⁶]
For l = 2, total number of electrons = 5 [3d⁵]
