Which of the following is incorrect?

A

Property of the electrons called its spin is best visualized as a manifestation of the particle aspect of the electron.

B

There is a definite relatiship between the spin quantum number and the values of `n, l` and `m_(l)`.

C

We cannot associate a particular value of `m_(s)` with a particular direction of spin, as `m_(s)` describes relative, not absolute, direction of spin.

D

The spin is specified by the spin quantum number `m_(s)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

While it is difficult to visulize a spin associated with a wave packet, we can easily picture a particle spining like a top. The electron can spin in one of the two waysclockwise or counterclockwise. Since the electron has only two allowed directions of spin, `m_(s)`, has only two values, which by convention are `+1//2` and `-1//2`.
There is no relation between the spin equantum number and pther quantum numbers beacuse unlike `n, l`, and `m_(l)`, spin quantum number is not the solution of Schrddot(o)dinger's wave equation.
