(a) Which quantum number signifies the shape of orbitals.
(b) How many orbitals are in n = 3, what are they?
Answers
Answer:
(a) . magnetic quantum number
(b). 9 orbits are in n=3
Answer:
A. Angular Quantum Number (l)
B. Nine (9) Orbitals
EXPLANATION:
A.
The angular quantum number (l) describes the shape of the orbital. Orbitals have shapes that are best described as follows :
1. If (l = 0), then Spherical
2. If (l = 1), then Polar
3. If (l = 2), then Cloverleaf
They can even take on more complex shapes as the value of the angular quantum number becomes larger.
B.
There are 9 orbital in n=3. Which are as follows:
- 1 orbital in 3s
- 3 oritals in 3p
- 5 orbitals in 3d
In 3s: n l m
3 0 0
In 3p: n l m
3 1 -1
3 1 0
3 1 1
In 3d: n l m
3 2 -2
3 2 -1
3 2 0
3 2 1
3 2 2
