How many electrons in an atom have the following quantum numbers?
n=4, `m_(s)= -1//2`

A

32

B

18

C

8

D

16

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Total no. of electrons = `2n^(2)`
If n = 4, no. of electrons = 32
Total number of electrons with `m_(s)=(-1)/2` will be 16.

An electron in an atom can be completely designated with the help of four quantum numbers. Out of these, the first three i.e., principal (n), azimuthal (l) and magnetic (m) quantum number are obtained from the solution of Shrodinger wave equation while the spin(s) quantum number arises from the spin of the electron around its axis clockwise or anticlockwise. Of these principal quantum number tells about the size, azimuthal quantum number about the shape and magnetic quantum signifies the orientation of the electron orbital.
