हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).\n Assertion (A): Two electrons in the same orbital can have the same set of four quantum numbers.\n Reason (R): Pauli's exclusion principle states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers. \nIn the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
View Answer & Solution
Correct answer · Option D
(A) is false but (R) is true.
Explanation
Assertion is false because two electrons in the same orbital must have opposite spins, making their spin quantum number different.
