Question

The atomic number describes which of the following:

• A. Shape of orbitals
• B. Shape of the orbit
• C. Orbitals' magnetic field
• D. Orbitals' energy levels

Hint:

The atomic number determines the number of protons in an atom, and it influences the magnetic properties of the atom by determining electron configuration.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The atomic number defines the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. This determines the electronic configuration and thereby the shape and magnetic properties of the atom's orbitals. The correct option is related to the behavior of electrons in specific orbitals and their magnetic field interaction.
