Which of the following statements are correct for an electron that has n = 4 and m = -2?

Answer»

The electron may be in a p-orbital.
The electron is in the FOURTH principal ELECTRONIC shell.
The electron may be in a d-orbital.
The electron must have the SPIN quantum number = -1/2.

Solution :n = 4, m = -2 does not correspond to p-orbital (because for p-orbital, m = -1 , 0, + 1)`, but it can represent d or/orbital.
