The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is wrong, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze the first statement **Statement:** The total angular momentum of an electron in the S orbital is equal to 0. **Analysis:** - The S orbital corresponds to the angular momentum quantum number (l) of 0. - The total angular momentum (L) for an electron in an S orbital is indeed 0. - **Conclusion:** This statement is correct. ### Step 2: Analyze the second statement **Statement:** An orbital is designated by 3 quantum numbers while an electron in an atom is designated by 4 quantum numbers. **Analysis:** - Each orbital is described by three quantum numbers: principal quantum number (n), azimuthal quantum number (l), and magnetic quantum number (m). - An electron in an atom is described by four quantum numbers: n, l, m, and spin quantum number (s). - **Conclusion:** This statement is correct. ### Step 3: Analyze the third statement **Statement:** The electronic configuration of nitrogen is 1s² 2s² 2p³. **Analysis:** - The correct electronic configuration for nitrogen (atomic number 7) is indeed 1s² 2s² 2p³. - According to Hund's rule, electrons will fill degenerate orbitals (like the three 2p orbitals) singly before pairing up. - The correct filling should be 2p_x¹ 2p_y¹ 2p_z¹ before any pairing occurs. - If the statement suggests otherwise (like pairing before filling), it would be incorrect. - **Conclusion:** This statement is incorrect based on the application of Hund's rule. ### Step 4: Analyze the fourth statement **Statement:** The value of m for dz² is 0. **Analysis:** - The magnetic quantum number (m) can take values from -l to +l. - For d orbitals, l = 2, so m can be -2, -1, 0, 1, or 2. - The dz² orbital corresponds to m = 0. - **Conclusion:** This statement is correct. ### Final Conclusion The wrong statement among the options is the third statement regarding the electronic configuration of nitrogen. ---

To determine which statement is wrong, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze the first statement **Statement:** The total angular momentum of an electron in the S orbital is equal to 0. **Analysis:** - The S orbital corresponds to the angular momentum quantum number (l) of 0. - The total angular momentum (L) for an electron in an S orbital is indeed 0. ...
