Question

1) lp does not exist. why?
2) 3f does not exist .why?

please guys help me it's very urgent for me and please don't write unnecessary answers please guys ​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. The reason why there is no 1p orbital is that in the first shell only 1s is present because the shell can have maximum 2 electrons. Therefore, 1p is not possible.

2. In the second shell, both 2s and 2p orbitals exist, as it can have a maximum of 8 electrons. In the third shell, only the 3s, 3p and 3d orbitals exist, as it can hold a maximum of 18 electrons. Therefore, the 3f orbitals do not exist.

Hope it helps you.
