The two electrons in the 1s orbital of helium have antiparallel spin. Why do not they have parallel spin ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

If they had parallel spins, the repulsion will increase. As a result, energy will increase and the stability will decrease.

Why do two electrons in an orbital have opposite spin ?

When there are two electron is the same orbitals , they have ……………spins

When there are two el,ectron is the same orbitals , they have ……………spins

Assertion (A) : The pairing of electrons in the orbitals of a particular subshell does not occur unitl all the orbitals of the subshell are singly occupied. Reason (R) : Singly occupied orbitals must have the electrons with parallel spins.

When two electron are placed in two degenerate orbitals of the atom , the energy is lower of their spin is parallel .The statement is based spin

The position and energy of an electron is specified with the help of four quantum numbers namely, principal quantum number (n), azimuthal quantum number (l), magnetic quantum number (m_l) and spin quantum number (m_s) . The permissible values of these are : n = 1,2..... l = 0,1,.....(n-1) m_l = -l,......0,......+l m_s = +1/2 and -1/2 for each value of m_l . The angular momentum of electron is given as sqrt(l(l + 1)) cdot h/(2pi) While spin angular momentum is given as sqrt(s(s+1)) cdot (h/(2pi)) where s = 1/2 The electrons having the same value of n, l and m_l are said to belong to the same orbital. According to Pauli's exclusion principle, an orbital can have maximum of two electrons and these two must have opposite spin. Which of the following statements is not correct ?

The statements. (i) In filling a group of orbitals of equal energy, it is energetically preferable to assign electrons to empty orbital rather than pair placed in two different. (ii) When two electrons are placed in two different orbitals, energy is lower of the spins are parallel, are valid for.
