The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is false among the given options, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Option 1 **Statement:** The number of orbitals for a given value of L is equal to \(2L + 1\). - For \(L = 0\) (s orbital): \[ 2(0) + 1 = 1 \quad \text{(1 type of s orbital)} \] - For \(L = 1\) (p orbital): \[ 2(1) + 1 = 3 \quad \text{(3 types: \(p_x\), \(p_y\), \(p_z\))} \] - For \(L = 2\) (d orbital): \[ 2(2) + 1 = 5 \quad \text{(5 types: \(d_{xy}\), \(d_{yz}\), \(d_{zx}\), \(d_{x^2-y^2}\), \(d_{z^2}\))} \] - Conclusion: This statement is **true**. ### Step 2: Analyze Option 2 **Statement:** The number of orbitals for a given value of n is equal to \(n^2\). - For \(n = 1\): \[ n^2 = 1^2 = 1 \quad \text{(1 orbital: s)} \] - For \(n = 2\): \[ n^2 = 2^2 = 4 \quad \text{(1 s orbital + 3 p orbitals = 4 total)} \] - For \(n = 3\): \[ n^2 = 3^2 = 9 \quad \text{(1 s + 3 p + 5 d = 9 total)} \] - Conclusion: This statement is **true**. ### Step 3: Analyze Option 3 **Statement:** An atom having unpaired electrons is diamagnetic in nature. - **Definition of Diamagnetic:** Materials with all electrons paired (total spin = 0). - **Definition of Paramagnetic:** Materials with unpaired electrons, which are attracted to magnetic fields. - Conclusion: This statement is **false**. ### Step 4: Analyze Option 4 **Statement:** All s orbitals are spherical symmetrical. - **Shape of s Orbitals:** The s orbitals are indeed spherical in shape. - Conclusion: This statement is **true**. ### Final Conclusion The false statement among the options is **Option 3**: "An atom having unpaired electrons is diamagnetic in nature." ---

To determine which statement is false among the given options, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Option 1 **Statement:** The number of orbitals for a given value of L is equal to \(2L + 1\). - For \(L = 0\) (s orbital): \[ 2(0) + 1 = 1 \quad \text{(1 type of s orbital)} ...
