Multiple choice

Which of the following statements is/are wrong?

(A) The shape of an atomic orbital depends on the azimuthal quantum number. (B) The energy of the electron in an atomic orbital of multielectron atom depends on principal quantum number. (C) The number of degenerate atomic orbitals of one type depends on the values of principal azimuthal and magnetic quantum number.

  1. Only (A)

  2. Only (B)

  3. Only (A) and (B)

  4. Only (B) and (C)

  5. Only (A) and (C)

D Correct answer
Explanation

Option (B) is not correct because energy depends upon principal as well as azimuthal quantum numbers and option (C) is not correct because the number of degenerate orbitals depends upon the value of azimuthal quantum number.
