2

B

6

C

10

D

14

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
(a) According to Hund's rule is maximum multiplicity, An orbital can accommodate a maximum number of 2 electrons of exactly opposite spin. Hence option (a) is correct.
Caution Remember, maximum number of electrons in an orbital do not depend upon the quantum numbers as given in the question .
