Question

For f - orbital l= 3 and the m values are corresponding to .............. orbitals a)1 b)3 c)5 d)7

Answer 1

Answer:

a) For an electron in 5f orbital, quantum numbers are

n=5,l=3,m=[−3,+3],s=

2

+1

,

2

−1

b) 1)n=2,l=1

2

nd

shell with azimuthal quantum number 1

∴2p orbital

c) n=3,l=0

3

rd

shell with azimuthal quantum number 0

3s orbital
