Question

The following quantum numbers are possible for how many orbital(s) $n = 3$ ,$l = 2$ and $m = +2$ are possible ?

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

1

Answer 2

n = 3,l = 2,m = + 2,s = $\pm$ 1/2 These values of quantum numbers are possible for only one of the five 3d-orbitaIs as +2 value of m is possible only for one orbital.
