Answer:

(A) n=2 and ms = (-1/2) โ‡’ 4 electrons.

(B) n = 5 and โ„“ = 3 โ‡’ 14 electrons

(C) n=4, โ„“=3, mโ„“= -3 โ‡’ ย 2 electrons

(D) n = 4, โ„“ =1, mโ„“ =1 โ‡’ ย 2 electrons

Explanation:

Quantum numbers are the set of numbers that describe the state of an electron in an atom. There are four quantum numbers:

Principal: n โ‰ฅ 1

Azimuthal: โ„“ โ‰ค (n-1)

Magnetic: mโ„“ = (-โ„“) to (โ„“)

Spin: ms = (ยฑ1/2)

(A) For: n = 2

โ„“ = 0 โ‡’ s-orbital and โ„“ = 1 โ‡’ p-orbital

So, โ„“ =0, mโ„“ = 0 โ‡’ 1 orbital

So for, โ„“ = 1 , mโ„“ = -1, 0, +1 โ‡’ 3 orbitals

Since an orbital can't have more than two electrons.

Therefore, the maximum number of electrons having n = 2 is 4 ร— 2 = 8 electrons

As electrons in an orbit must have opposite spins.

Therefore, the total number of electrons having, n=2 and ms = (-1/2) is 8รท2 = 4 electrons.

(B) For: n = 5

โ„“ = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

Now โ„“ = 3 โ‡’ f-orbital

So for, โ„“ = 3, ย mโ„“ = -3 -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3 โ‡’ 7 orbitals

Since an orbital can't have more than two electrons.

Therefore, the maximum number of electrons having n = 5 and โ„“ = 3 is 7 ร— 2 = 14 electrons

(C) For: n = 4

โ„“ = 0, 1, 2, 3

Now โ„“ = 3 โ‡’ f-orbital

So for, โ„“ = 3, ย mโ„“ = -3 -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3 โ‡’ 7 orbitals

When mโ„“= -3 โ‡’ 1 orbital

Since an orbital can't have more than two electrons.

Therefore, the maximum number of electrons having n=4, โ„“=3, mโ„“= -3 is 1 ร— 2 = 2 electrons

(D) For: n = 4

โ„“ = 0, 1, 2, 3

Now โ„“ = 1 โ‡’ p-orbital

So for, โ„“ = 1 , mโ„“ = -1, 0, +1 โ‡’ 3 orbitals

When mโ„“= +1 โ‡’ 1 orbital

Since an orbital can't have more than two electrons.

Therefore, the maximum number of electrons having n = 4, โ„“ =1, mโ„“ =1 is 1 ร— 2 = 2 electrons
