Question

13. Select the number of electrons that can have spin quantum number S =-12 in
4p orbital.​

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Explanation:

Answer 2

The total number of electrons that can have a spin quantum number s=-1/2 in the 4p orbital​s is equal to 3.

• The total number of electron that can be present in a sub shell with an azimuthal quantum number 'l' is equal to 2*(2l+1).
• The azimuthal quantum number for p orbital is equal to 1.
• So, the total number of electrons in 4p orbitals is equal to 6.
• Half of these electrons will have a spin of 1/2 while the other half will have a spin of -1/2.
• Hence, total number of electrons with spin of -1/2 is equal to 3.
