If the subsidiary quantum number of a sub energy level is 4, the maximum and minimum values of the spin multiplicities are :

Correct answer: (c) 10, 2

Explanation:

l = 4

number of degenerate orbitals = 2l + 1 = 9

maximum total spins = 9 x \(\frac{1}{2}\)

maximum multiplicity = 2s + 1

= 2 x \(\frac{9}{2}\) + 1 = 10

minimum total spins = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

minimum multiplicity = 2 x \(\frac{1}{2}\) + 1 = 2
