Question

The maximum number of 2p electrons with electronic spin =-(1/2) are (A) 6 (B) 0 (C) 2 (D) 3

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Electronic configuration of 2p level
Number of electrons with clock wise spin

m_{s} = + 1/2 i s = 3

Number of electrons with anticlockwise spin

m_{s} = - 1/2 i s = 3

∴

Maximum number of electrons with spin

m_{s} = - 1/2 i s 3

Q. The maximum number of 2p electrons with electronic spin =−21​ are
