If maximum value of principle quantum number for an atom is four then total number of electrons in an atom will be?

Answer: 32
Explanation

If the maximum value of the principal quantum number (n) for an atom is 4, the total number of electrons in that atom is 32.

This is because the maximum number of electrons in a shell is given by 2n², and for n=4, this calculation results in 2 * 4² = 32.
