The spin of one electron in an orbital is clockwise what is the spin of the other electron in that orbital?

actually they don't rotate at all (what is clockwise or anticlockwise for an electron anyway? what's the reference frame?). there's no rotation in the subatomic level. even if there were any, we wouldn't be able to detect it.

∙ 14y agoAccording to Pauli's Exclusion principle it will be having anticlock wise spin if it is in the same orbital. Because no two electrons can have all the four(always spin is half) quantum number same. By the way, I don't think anyone actually calls them "clockwise" and "counterclockwise". It's usually "up" and "down" or "plus one-half" and "minus one-half".

∙ 12y agoOne electron will have spin "up" and the other will have spin "down." When there are two electrons in an orbital -- the maximum number there COULD be -- this is the only possibility permitted.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoI assume that the two electrons share an orbital or else there would be no point to this question.
counter-clock wise.

What two kinds of electron motion are important in determining the magnetic property of a material?
Orbital and spin motion of electron
What is a quantum number?
Four quantum numbers are used to describe electrons. The principle quantum number is the energy level of an electron. The angular momentum number is the shape of the orbital holding the electron. The magnetic quantum number is the position of an orbital holding an electron. The spin quantum number is the spin of an electron.
Pauli stated in 1925 that two electrons can occupy the same orbital only if?
All other orbitals at the sub contain at least one electron
How magnetic moment of electron is associated with angular momentum of electron?
magnetic moment of a particle is due to its motion around some other orbits or about its own orbit i.e due to its orbital angular momentum or its spin angular momentum.
What is need of Spin quantum number?
The spin quantum number was created in the early twentieth century to account for the magnetic properties of the electron. It has only two possible values, +1/2 and -1/2, which indicates the two possible spin states of the electron. A single orbital can hold up to 2 electrons, which must have opposite spin states.
If the spin of one electron orbital is clockwise what is the spin of the other electron in that orbital?
According to Pauli's Exclusion principle it will be having anticlock wise spin if it is in the same orbital. Because no two electrons can have all the four(always spin is half) quantum number same. By the way, I don't think anyone actually calls them "clockwise" and "counterclockwise". It's usually "up" and "down" or "plus one-half" and "minus one-half".

What is the value of a clockwise spin of an electron?
This depends on multiple conventions, but in a right-handed coordinate system the usual convention is to say spin down for clockwise spin. Also note that an electron is not really spinning! It is a point-like particle after all!

What is meant by the orbit of an electron?
The path of an electron as it orbits the nucleus. If you mean the orbital, then that is the shell, or level that an electron is on. If you mean the spin, then that's a quality that subatomic particles have (nothing to do with spinning, just a name). An electron's spin is 1/2.
What must be true about electrons sharing the same atomic orbital?
The Pauli exclusion principle would require that an electron sharing the same orbital would have to have opposite spin from the other particle in the pair. They therefore have different spin quantum numbers of +(1/2) and -(1/2)
Why 2 electrons in an orbital spin?
one is spin up one is spin down, there are no other possibilities.
Pauli stated in 1925 that two electrons can occupy the same orbital only if?
All other orbitals at the sub contain at least one electron
Using hund's rule and orbital diagrams how you describe the sequence in which ten electrons accupy the five orbitals related to an atom's d sublevel?
The electrons fill each of the five orbitals, so there is 1 electron in each of the five orbitals. Then the 6th electron would pair its spin with the first orbital, the 7th would pair its spin with the 2nd orbital, etc.
What is electron orbit?
An electron orbital is a unique quantum mechanical energy state in an atom that can hold at most two electrons, each in opposite spin states. A given electron orbital can be empty, contain one electron (in either spin state), or be full with two electrons (one in each spin state) but the locations and movements of the electrons are probabilistic not deterministic due to the quantum nature of the electron orbitals.There are diagrams of the various types of electron orbitals (e.g. s, p, d, f, g, h) each having a different "statistical shape". However one important thing to remember is this does not show the boundary of that orbital, only the probability that the electrons might be inside that boundary (the electrons can also be outside that boundary and still be in the electron orbital).
How magnetic moment of electron is associated with angular momentum of electron?
magnetic moment of a particle is due to its motion around some other orbits or about its own orbit i.e due to its orbital angular momentum or its spin angular momentum.
