For n=4 , four sub-shells namely 4s,4p,4d and 4f are possible. Total number of electrons present in the sub-shell having ns value of
−1
2
is 16 . Similarly, for n=3 , three sub-shell namely 3s,3p and 3d are possible. Totalnumber of electrons present in the sub-shell h aving ns value of −
1
2
is 9. Thus, the sum of electrons present in all sub-shells of an atom with ms value of +
