Question

The maximum number of electrons that can be present in an orbital with $s=+1/2$ and $l=2$

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Answer 1

The correct option is B 2

We see clearly if the value of l is 2 then it contains 5 orbitals and each orbital contain 2 electrons one is of $m_s$ value is $-1/2$ and other have value $+1/2$

So that there are $5$ electrons are $m_s$ value $+1/2$ and $l=2$
