Question

Given,

(A)
(B)

The maximum number of electron(s) in an atom that can have the quantum numbers as given in and (B) respectively are:

Options

A.26 and 1
B.

4 and 1


C.2 and 4
D.8 and 1

Solution

A) $n = 5$

$$l = 0\ {\text{ }m}_{l} = 0 $$$l = 1\ {\text{ }m}_{l} = \mathbf{- 1},0,1 \Rightarrow 2$ electrons

$l = 2\ {\text{ }m}_{l} = - 2, - \mathbf{1},0,1,2 \Rightarrow 2$ electrons

$l = 3\ {\text{ }m}_{l} = - 3, - 2, - \mathbf{1},0,1,2,3 \Rightarrow 2$ electrons

$l = 4\ {\text{ }m}_{l} = - 4, - 3, - 2, - \mathbf{1},0,1,2,3,4 \Rightarrow 2$ electrons

Total number of electrons $= 8$

B) $n = 3,l = 2,{\text{ }m}_{l} = - 1,{\text{ }m}_{s} = + 1/2 \Rightarrow$ only 1 electron is possible
