Correct answer: D
We match each statement in Column I with the relevant quantum numbers from Column II.
Column II:
- Principal quantum number
- Azimuthal quantum number
- Magnetic quantum number
- Spin quantum number
1. (A) Orbital angular momentum of the electron in a hydrogen-like atomic orbital
The magnitude of orbital angular momentum is So it depends only on the azimuthal quantum number .
However, among the given options, all choices include both or something else; in standard matching for an orbital, the angular momentum vector specification is associated with:
- determining magnitude
- determining its orientation
So the intended match is:
2. (B) A hydrogen-like one-electron wave function obeying Pauli's principle
A complete one-electron state is specified by four quantum numbers: Pauli's principle applies to the complete set of these quantum numbers.
Hence,
3. (C) Shape, size and orientation of hydrogen-like atomic orbitals
For an atomic orbital:
- size depends mainly on
- shape depends on
- orientation depends on
Therefore,
4. (D) Probability density of electron at the nucleus in hydrogen-like atom
Probability density at nucleus depends on whether the orbital has nonzero value at . For hydrogen-like orbitals, only -orbitals have nonzero electron density at nucleus, so this depends on:
It does not depend on or spin .
Thus,
5. Compare with options
We obtained:
This matches Option D.
