Given below are two statements.
Statement I Electrons with the same principal quantum number ( 
) but different magnetic quantum number 
experience different energies with in an atom.
Statement II Sum of the principal quantum number and the azimuthal quantum number, is equal to the total number of nodes in an orbital.
choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
Their correct form is given as follow
• Electrons with the same principal quantum number ( 
) but different magnetic quantum number ( 
) do not experience different energies within an atom.
• The 
values determines the orientation of the orbital in space, not the energy of an electron.
• The total number of nodes in an orbital is the sum of the angular nodes and radial nodes present in the atomic orbital.
