NEET 2023 Chemistry Magnetic Quantum Number MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

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

l = 2nₘ + 1

B

nₘ = 2l² + 1

C

nₘ = l + 2

D

l = (nₘ - 1)/2

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

The number of permissible values of the magnetic quantum number (m) for a given azimuthal quantum number (l) is given by the formula: n_m = 2l + 1.
