Question

When an atom is placed in the magnetic field, then due to the presence of electrons in it?

• A. The orbitals do not orient themselves relative to the magnetic field.
• B. The orbitals orient, themselves relative to the magnetic field.
• C. There are $(2l+1)$ different values of m for each value of $l$.
• D. There are $\left(2\right)$ different values of m for each value of $l$.

Answer 1

The correct option is B The orbitals orient, themselves relative to the magnetic field.

When an atom is placed in the magnetic field, then the orientation of orbitals relative to the magnetic field depend on paramagnetism and diamagnetism of the substance.
