 The maximum number of electrons that can accommodate in an

orbital is 2.
 The maximum number of orbitals present in a shell is given by
2
n .

 Angular momentum of an electron present in an orbital is given
mh
by .
2 
 Significance- This gives the number of orientations of a subshell.

 Spin quantum number(s) :
 This quantum number gives the net spin of an electron.

 In an orbital 2 electrons are present with opposite spin.
 The value of s is +1/2 and -1/2.

 Angular momentum of an electron is an orbital according to spin,
h
s (s  ) 1 .
