Q53 / 200 · NEET 2023 (All India) · Chemistry

The relation between nm (nm=the number of permissible values of magnetic quantum number (m)) for a given value of azimuthal quantum number l, is

  • A
    nm=l+2
  • Correct answer
    B
    l=nm-12
  • C
    l=2nm+1
  • D
    nm=2l2+1

Solution

The possible magnetic quantum number values for a given value of azimuthal quantum number l are -l to +l through 0. Suppose if l=1, the possible nm values are -1,0,+1. The mathematical formula can be written as follows,

nm=2l+1⇒l=nm-12

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