MCQ
To accommodate the view that matter is made up to $5$ elements only, a scientist proposed the following hypothesis; that atoms can have a maximum principal quantum number $n _{\operatorname{man}}$ and no higher. Then, which of the following statements must be true ?
  • A
    $n _{\max }=1$, and electrons have spin
  • $n _{\max }=2$, and electrons have spinless but nevertheless obey the Pauli Exclusion principle.
  • C
    $n_{\max }=3$, and electrons are spinless but nevertheless obey the Pauli Exclusion principle.
  • D
    $n_{\max }=4$, and electrons have spin

Answer

Correct option: B.
$n _{\max }=2$, and electrons have spinless but nevertheless obey the Pauli Exclusion principle.
b
(B)

$Z_{\max }=5$

No spin $\Rightarrow$ There is no spin quantum number. If $n_{\max }=2$, for $Z=5$

As pauli exclusion principle is being obeyed there is only one $e ^{-}$in each orbital.

(There is no spin quantum number)

Ans. $n_{\max }=2$
