Answer #1

for any value of n , l have only fixed values

eg. if l=1 then its is p orbital

since there are 3 p orbital viz px, py and pz and each orbital can occupy maximum of two electron hence 3 porbital can have maximum of 6 electrons

so for n = 5, l= 1 , greatest number of electrons will be 6
