Question

How many maximum electrons can be found in 3d orbital with spin quantum number -1/2? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Because there are only two such values, we conclude that an orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons, and they must have opposite spins. This restriction allows us to index the electrons in an atom, giving their quantum numbers and thereby defining the region in space where each electron is most likely to be found.

Explanation:

There are 2l+1 possible states. Each distinct n,l,m orbital can be occupied by two electrons with opposing spins giving 2(2l+1) electrons overall. for a given value of n,the values of l are 0 to n−1. The maximum no of electrons in nth energy level is 2n
