MCQ
Although no currently known element contains electrons in $g$ orbitals in the ground state, it is possible that such element will be found or that electrons in excited states of known elements could be in $g$ orbitals. For $g$ orbitals, $1 = 4.$ What is the lowest value of $n$ for which $g$ orbitals could exist ? What are the possible values of $m$ ? How many electrons could a set of $g$ orbitals hold ?
  • A
    $n = 6, m = -4$ to $+4,$ no. of electrons $= 18$
  • B
    $n = 5, m = -2$ to $+4,$ no. of electrons $= 9$
  • C
    $n = 5, m = -3$ to $+3,$ no. of electrons $= 9$
  • $n = 5, m = -4$ to $+4,$ no. of electrons $= 18$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$n = 5, m = -4$ to $+4,$ no. of electrons $= 18$
d
