Q1 / 75 · JEE Main 2020 (07 Jan Shift 1) · Chemistry

The number of orbitals associated with quantum numbers n=5,ms=+12 is:

  • A
    11
  • Correct answer
    B
    25
  • C
    50
  • D
    15

Solution

For n=5   5s, 5p, 5d, 5f  and 5g and subshell is available

In   5s→1 orbital

5p→3 orbital

5d→5 orbital

5f→7 orbital

5g→9 orbital

In each subshell 1 electron of every orbital will belong to m 5 =+ 1 2 So, Total number of orbitals that will be associate with  m 5 =+ 1 2   will be 1+3+5+7+9=25

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
