Answer 4

Which do you think it is? Why or why not? It would be easier to tutor you if you explained what about the question is giving you trouble.

Answer 5

oh sorry i dont understand four quantum numbers?

Answer 6

i just told u in ur last questions , i also told u how to calculate them

Answer 7

Two electrons in the same orbital will have all quantum numbers equal except the spin quantum number.

Answer 8

For one it would be \(\huge+\frac{1}{2}\) and for other one it would be \(\huge-\frac{1}{2}\)

Answer 9

For example let us consider two electrons of 1s orbital

Answer 10

got it ?

Answer 11

yes thank you!

Answer 13

is that the pauli exclusion principle?

Answer 14

A follow up question: if there are 3 electrons in 2p orbital, would the electrons differ in the spin quantum number also? I thought so, but the answer was the magnetic quantum number

Answer 15

Pauli's Exclusion law states that no two electrons can have all the four quantum numbers equal. This is why two electrons of the same orbital have different spin quantum numbers.

Answer 16

Lets see the 2p orbital in detail
