A shell consists of all ________ A)electrons with the same quantum number. B)orbitals with the same quantum numbers. C)orbitals with the same principal quantum number. D)electrons with the same magnetic quantum number. E)orbitals with the same and m_l quantum numbers.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A shell consists of all orbitals with the same principal quantum number, regardless of their other quantum numbers. Electrons in the same shell have the same energy level and similar chemical behavior. Therefore, option C is the best choice. The other options are incorrect because they refer to subsets of the shell, such as electrons with the same magnetic quantum number or orbitals with the same secondary quantum numbers.
