For Q.13 - Q.15, please refer to the following paragraph

Instead of Principal quantum number (n), Azimuthal quantum number (l) and Magnetic
quantum number (m), a set of new quantum number S, t and u was introduced with similar
logic but different values as defined below:

S = 1, 2, 3…(all positive integral values)

t = (S2 – 12), (S2 – 22), (S2 – 32)… No negative values

u = - (t+1)/2 to (t+1)/2 in integral steps.

Each orbital can have maximum four electrons. (S+t) rule is defined similar to (n+l) rule.

Now answer the following questions:

13. The number of subshells present in third shell is equal to:

a. 1 b. 3
c. 5 d. 7

14. Number of electrons that can be accommodated in S = 2 and S = 3 shell, respectively

are:

a. 18, 38 b. 28, 76
c. 8, 28 d. none of the above

15. Number of electrons belongs to S = 2, t = 3 for an element with atomic number Z = 24
