The number of orbitals associated with 'N' shell of an atom is
Show Hint
- 32
- 3
- 4
- 16
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The number of orbitals in any shell is given by \(n^2\), where \(n\) is the principal quantum number of the shell. For the N shell, the principal quantum number \(n = 4\). Therefore, the number of orbitals in the N shell is: \[ n^2 = 4^2 = 16 \] Thus, the total number of orbitals in the N shell is 16.
