Two electrons occupying the same orbital...

Two electrons occupying the same orbital are distinguished by :

A

Principal quantum number

B

azimuthal quantum number

C

magnetic qauntum number

D

spin quantum number

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
If two electrons in an atom are in the same atomic orbital, then they must have the same `n,l`, and `m` values. Thus, in order to satisfy Pauli's exculsion principal, they must have opposite spins.
