Question

An electron having spin quantum number, $s = -1/2$ and magnetic quantum number, $m = + 3$ can be present in

A

both $s$ -orbital and $p$ -orbital

B

$p$ -orbital only

C

$f$ - orbital only

D

both $d$ -orbital and $f$ -orbital

Answer

$f$ - orbital only

Explanation

Solution

For $f$ -orbital, $l = 3; m = -l$ to $+l i.e., -3$ to $+3$
