		2
		6
		14

Answer 1

Question 1 ) the spin quantum number is represented by m_s

n = principle quantum number

l = azimuthal quantum number

ml = magnetic quantum number

2) true: valence electrons are the electrons present in the outer most shell of an atom

For example

sodium : 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1

So here the outer most shell is n= 3

the valence electrons are= 01

3) ethane (C2H6) is a saturated compound and consists of only sigma bonds , there is no pi bond

Hence single bond is present

4) the bond angle for tetrahedral arrangement is : 109.5 (sp3)

the bond angle 180 is for linear arrangement (sp)

120 is for trigonal planar (sp2)

5) the atoms which obey octet (8) rule have 8 electrons in their outermost shell

example : argon : 1s2, 2s2 2p6

6) sp hybridisation means that the carbon is triple bonded with one carbon

the total valency of carbon = 4

so if it is making three bond with other carbon then there is only one other atom attached to it

So total atoms= 2

7)The electron configuration, 1s²2s²2p⁶

Total number of electrons = 10

the neutral element with 10 electrons will be argon (Ar)

8) In molecular orbital theory, a single bond consists of : only sigma bond

sigma molecular orbital

9) compound N2 is formed from two nitrogen atoms which have triple bond (1 sigma bond and 2 pi bond)

10) the maximum electrons in any s orbitals = 2

so for 4s also it is = 2
