Solution

To determine the total number of electrons in sulfur with azimuthal quantum number l=1 l = 1 , follow these steps:

  1. Identify the atomic number of sulfur: Sulfur has an atomic number of 16, which means it has 16 electrons.

  2. Understand the azimuthal quantum number l l : The azimuthal quantum number l l corresponds to the subshells. For l=1 l = 1 , this represents the p-subshell.

  3. Determine the electron configuration of sulfur: The electron configuration of sulfur is: 1s22s22p63s23p4 1s^2 \, 2s^2 \, 2p^6 \, 3s^2 \, 3p^4

  4. Identify the electrons in the p-subshells: The p-subshells are those with l=1 l = 1 . From the electron configuration:

    • 2p6 2p^6 has 6 electrons.
    • 3p4 3p^4 has 4 electrons.
  5. Sum the electrons in the p-subshells: 6(from2p6)+4(from3p4)=10 6 \, (from \, 2p^6) + 4 \, (from \, 3p^4) = 10

Therefore, the total number of electrons in sulfur with azimuthal quantum number l=1 l = 1 is 10.
