Interpretation:
The total number of electrons that can be accomodated if principal quantum number is four has to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Principal Quantum Number(n): In an atom, the electron energy mainly depends on principal quantum number. The energy of an electron becomes lower when the value of n is smaller. The orbital size also depends on n. The size of orbital increases with increase in value of principal quantum number (n). It relates to distance between electron and nucleus in particular orbital.
