How many electrons belonging to an atom of 13Al are associated with the azimuthal quantum number (ℓ = 1) under ground state condition? A.4B.5C.6D.7E.8
can anyone explain why the answer is D.
An azimuthal quantum number of 1 refers to electrons in the p orbital. Aluminum has 6 electrons in the 2p orbital and 1 electron in the 3p orbital. 6+1= 7 total electrons.
