Question

In 5f orbital what is the value of azimuthal quantum number (1)?​

Answer 1

Azimuthal Quantum numbers: The Quantum numbers defining the subshell of the electron.

Range = 0 - (n-1)

When the orbital is 5f:

n = 5

l = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 , where:

0 = s

1 = p

2 = d

3 = f

4 = g

Thus, the answer is 3

Answer 2

Answer:

The principal quantum number, or n, describes the energy lelvel in which the electron can be found, Since you're interested in an electron located in a 5d-orbital, n=5.

The angular momentum quantum number, or l, describes the subshell, or orbital type, in which your electron is located. Since you have a d-orbital, l=2.

The value of l will give you the value of the magnetic quantum number, or ml, which describes the orientation of the orbital.

The accepted values for ml range from −l to +l, which means that you can have 5 d-orbitals in the fifth energy level, dxy, dxz, dyz, dz2, and dx2−y2, each described by a magnetic quantum number

ml=−2

ml=−1

ml=0

ml=+1

ml=+2

As an example, here's how these orbitals would look for the 3d subshell
