If electron has spin quantum number +1/2 and a magnetic quantum number −1, it cannot be present in

1. d-orbital
2. f-orbital
3. p-orbital
4. s-orbital

Correct answer: s-orbital

Solution

The magnetic quantum number (m) for an s-orbital is always 0, so an electron with m = -1 cannot exist in an s-orbital.
