  1. A 7
  2. B 5
  3. C 3
  4. D 0
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 5

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The azimuthal quantum number has the value of 2 (i.e., \(l=2)\) or ( \(d\)-orbital). \(\therefore\) Magnetic quantum number \((m)\) can be \(=2 l+1\) \(=2 \times 2+1=5\)
