Given, (A) n = 5, ml = -1 (B) n = 3, l = 2, ml = -1, ms = + 12 The maximum number of electron(s) in an atom that can have the quantum numbers as given in (A) and (B) respectively are :

  1. 4 and 1
  2. 2 and 4
  3. 26 and 1
  4. 8 and 1

Answer

(4) 8 and 1

Solution

(A) n = 5 l = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

ml = -1 is possible only for l = 1, 2, 3, 4 (not for l = 0) 4 orbitals

Each orbital holds 2 electrons 4 2 = 8 electrons

(B) n = 3, l = 2, ml = -1 fixes one 3d orbital, and ms = + 12 fixes the spin 1 electron

8 and 1

Answer: (4)
