JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2020 - 3rd September Evening Slot - No. 14)

Consider the hypothetical situation where the azimuthal quantum number, $$l$$, takes values 0, 1, 2, ....., n + 1, where n is the principal quantum number. Then, the element with atomic number :
13 has a half-filled valence subshell
9 is the first alkali metal
8 is the first noble gas
6 has a 2p-valence subshell

Explanation

Under hypothetical situation, the value of l is greater than n which varies from 0 to n + 1.

For n = 1, l = 0, 1, 2

n = 2, l = 0, 1, 2, 3

Elements follow the following electronic configuration

1s 1p 1d 2s 2p 2d 2f

Atomic number (Z) = 9
1s2 1p6 1d1

Atomic number = 6
1s2 1p4

Atomic number 8
1s2 1p6

Atomic number 13
1s2 1p6 1d5 (half filled)
