Question

How many sub orbits are possible for 'N' shell. Name them and write their 'l ' values.

Answer 1

To find:

Sub orbits are possible for 'N' shell ? Name them and write their 'l ' values.

Solution:

In order to calculate the Azimuthal Quantum Number, we need to see the possible Principal Quantum Number for the N shell .

N shell is the 4th shell , hence has PRINCIPAL QUANTUM NUMBER = 4.

Now, we know that value of Azimuthal Quantum Number is (n - 1) = (4 - 1) = 3 , this denotes the max number attributed to a specific orbital.

Hence, the suborbits (orbitals) possible is s, p, d and f (so 4 suborbits are possible)

The corresponding "l" values:

$1) \: s \: : \: 0 \\ 2) \: p \: : \: 1 \\ 3) \: d \: : \: 2\\ 4) \: f \: : \: 3$

Hope It Helps.

Answer 2

How many sub orbits are possible for 'N' shell. Name them and write their 'l ' values.

Given : N shell

To find : Sub Orbitals present in N shell and write their " l " values.

Explanation :

N shell is given

Principal Quantum Number Is n= 4

So number of subshells or sub orbitals is given by Azimuthal Quantum number 'l"

whose value is given by the formula : l=   n-1

l=4-1= 3

The sub shells(orbitals )  allowed for n=4  are from the range  0 to n-1

so the sub orbitals allowed are 0 to 3

l value    Subshell

0             s

1              p

2             d

3             f

For n = 4, l can have values of 0, 1, 2, and 3. Thus, s, p, d, and f subshells [sub orbitals ) are found in the n = 4 shell of an atom.
