QUESTION #7370
Question 1
The maximum number of orbitals that can be identified with quantum numbers \(n=3\), \(\ell=1\), \(m_\ell=0\) is:
Correct Answer Explanation
For \(n=3, \ell=1, m_\ell=0\): all three quantum numbers are fixed. This uniquely specifies one orbital — the \(3p_z\) orbital (or whichever p-orbital corresponds to \(m=0\)). A specific orbital is defined by its set of \(n\), \(\ell\), and \(m\). Only the spin quantum number \(m_s\) remains free.
