Statement (I): For a given shell, the total number of allowed orbitals is given by n².
Statement (II): For any subshell, the spatial orientation of the orbitals is given by −l to +l values including zero.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
For a given principal quantum number n, total number of orbitals
present in that shell is equal to n².
✔ Statement I is correct.
For a given azimuthal quantum number l, the magnetic quantum number
ml can have values from −l to +l including zero.
This gives the spatial orientation of orbitals.
✔ Statement II is correct.
Correct Answer = Both Statement I and Statement II are true
