Spin quantum number
• It is associated with spin of electrons in orbital
𝟏 𝟏
• It has fractional value + for anticlock wise spin and −for
𝟐 𝟐
clock wise spin
• According to pauli exclusion principle two electrons in same
orbital cannot have same spin
• Pauli exclusion principle : “no two electrons in orbital of
atom have same set of four quantum numbers”
• In orbital two electrons have maximum of three same
quantum nymbers principal , azimuthal and magnetic
quantum numbers but have different value of spin quantum
Quantum number
Shape of orbitals
• S-orbital
S-orbital has spherical shape , it has no nodal plane , its
electron distribution is uniform in all three axis , it has only one
orientation in applied magnetic field
P- orbitals
• They are dumb-bell shaped , they have three orintations in
applied magnetic field as px , py , pz
• Three p- orbitals are mutually perpendicular to each other
• They are degenerate orbitals , each p-orbital has two pear
shaped lobes connect at nodal plane , electron density or
probability at nodal plane is zero
