हिन्दीGiven below are two statements:\n Statement I: The maximum number of electrons in a subshell is given by \( 2(2l + 1) \).\n Statement II: Pauli's exclusion principle allows two electrons in the same orbital to have the same spin quantum number. \nIn the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Correct answer · Option 3
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
Explanation
Statement I is correct because each orbital holds 2 electrons and there are \( 2l+1 \) orbitals. Statement II is incorrect because electrons in the same orbital must have opposite spins.
