View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
5fx(x2−y2)5{f_{x\left( {{x^2} - {y^2}} \right)}}
Option B (5fx(x2−y2)5{f_{x\left( {{x^2} - {y^2}} \right)}}) is correct because for l=1, there are 3 m values (-1, 0, +1), and the f orbital (l=3) can have m values of -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3. The question states that the 'm' value for an electron is equal to the number of m values for l=1 (which is 3). Therefore, we need an orbital that can have m = 3, which is only possible for f orbitals.
