STANDARD Chemistry Quantum Numbers Assertion Reason Question
Statement I: Magnetic quantum number determines the size of the orbital. Statement II: Spin quantum number of an electron determines the orientation of the spin of electron relative to the chosen axis.
Both statement I and II are correct.
Both statement I and II are incorrect.
Statement I is correct but statement II is incorrect.
Statement II is correct but statement I is incorrect.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Magnetic quantum number determines the orientation of the orbital, not the size. The spin quantum number indeed determines the orientation of the electron's spin.
