Neet Solved Paper 2013 Question 2
Question: What is the maximum numbers of electrons that can be .associated with the following set of quantum numbers? $ n=3,l=1 $ and m = - 1
Options:
A) 10
B) 6
C) 4
D) 2
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
- The orbital of the electron having n = 3, $ l=1 $ and m = - 1 is $ 3p _{z} $ $ (as,nl _{m}) $ and an orbital can have a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins
$ \therefore $ $ 3p _{z} $ orbital contains only two electrons or only 2 electrons are associated with n = 3, $ l=1,,m=-1. $
