The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Two electrons in K shell will not have...", we need to analyze the quantum numbers associated with electrons in the K shell (the first energy level). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the K Shell**: - The K shell corresponds to the first principal energy level, denoted by the principal quantum number \( n = 1 \). 2. **Determine the Quantum Numbers**: - For the K shell, the only subshell available is the 1s subshell. - The quantum numbers for electrons in the K shell are: - Principal quantum number (\( n \)): 1 - Azimuthal quantum number (\( l \)): 0 (for s subshell) - Magnetic quantum number (\( m_l \)): 0 (since \( m_l \) can take values from \(-l\) to \(+l\)) - Spin quantum number (\( m_s \)): can be either \( +\frac{1}{2} \) or \( -\frac{1}{2} \) 3. **Apply the Pauli Exclusion Principle**: - According to the Pauli Exclusion Principle, no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers. - Since both electrons in the K shell will have the same \( n \), \( l \), and \( m_l \) values, the only quantum number that can differ is the spin quantum number (\( m_s \)). 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, two electrons in the K shell cannot have the same spin quantum number. One must have \( m_s = +\frac{1}{2} \) and the other must have \( m_s = -\frac{1}{2} \). ### Final Answer: Two electrons in the K shell will not have the same spin quantum number. ---
