NEET Chemistry Rutherford's Model MCQ Question
Consider a diagram showing various atomic orbitals with different orientations. Which set of quantum numbers (n, l, m_l) corresponds to a d orbital with m_l = -2?
(3, 2, -2)
(2, 1, -2)
(4, 3, -2)
(3, 1, -2)
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The d orbital corresponds to l = 2, and its m_l values range from -2 to +2. Hence, the set (3, 2, -2) is correct.
