| What is the maximum number of orbitals that can be identified with the following quantum numbers? [AIPMT 2014] |
| \[n=3,l=1,{{m}_{l}}=0\] |
A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
D) 4
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
| The value of \[n=3\] and \[l=1\] suggests that it is a 3p orbital while the value of \[{{m}_{1}}\]= 0 [magnetic quantum number] shows that the given 3p orbital is \[3{{p}_{z}}\] in nature. |
 |
| Hence, the maximum number of orbitals identified by the given quantum number is only |
| 1, i.e., \[3{{p}_{z}}.\] |
