Q.

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: For a given shell, the total number of allowed orbitals is given by n2.

Statement II: For any subshell, the spatial orientation of the orbitals is given by –l to +l values including zero.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:                     [2025]

1 Both Statement I and Statement II are false  
2 Both Statement I and Statement II are true  
3 Statement I is false but Statement II is true  
4 Statement I is true but Statement II is false  

Ans.

(2)

Number of orbitals in a shell with principal quantum number n is n2. Value of magnetic quantum number is from –l to +l including zero and each value of m corresponds to a unique orientation of an orbital.
