Answer:
Correct Answer: 55. $ A \rightarrow q; \hspace{2mm} B \rightarrow p,q,r,s; \hspace{2mm} C \rightarrow p,q,r; \hspace{2mm} D \rightarrow p,q,r $
Solution:
- A. Orbital angular momentum
$ (L)=\sqrt{l(l+1)} \dfrac{h}{2 \pi} $
i.e. $L$ depends on azimuthal quantum number only.
B. To describe a one electron wave function, three quantum numbers $n, l$ and $m$ are needed. Further to abide by Pauli exclusion principle, spin quantum number $(s)$ is also needed.
C. For shape, size and orientation, only $n, l$ and $m$ are needed.
D. Probability density $\left(\psi^{2}\right)$ can be determined if $n, l$ and $m$ are known.
