Question

Can we designate an orbital as 2d

Answer 1

Explanation:

Stefan V. The answer is d) 2d. Without going into too much detail, the 2d orbitals cannot exist because they are not allowed solutions to the Schrodinger equation. Simply put, the second energy shell, designated by a principal quantum number equal to 2, or n=2 , can only hold s and p-orbitals.

Answer 2

Answer:

No, we can not designate an orbital as 2d because for the second energy level,the allowed values for the angular momentum quantum number, or l, the quantum number the describes the shape of an orbital that can occupy a certain energy level, are 0, which designate s- orbitals, and 1, which designate p - orbitals

D - orbitals are allowed starting with third energy levels, for which l is equal to 2.
