Question

An atomic orbital has n = 3 value. What are the possible values of l.

Answer 1

Answer:

Table of Allowed Quantum Numbers

n l ml

1 -1, 0, +1

3 0 0

1 -1, 0, +1

2 -2, -1, 0, +1, +2

Answer 2

Answer:

0,1,2

Explanation:

l = Azimuthal quantum number = varies from 0 to n-1.

so n = 3 => l = 0, 1, 2.. => s , p , d orbitals.

When n = 3, l= 0, 1, 2 (l takes on three values and thus there are three possible subshell
