The designation of the orbital n=4,I=3 is --
Answers
n= 4 that means principal quantum no is 4 and l= 3 means azimuthal quantum no is f. So orbital is 4f orbital
The quantum numbers are used here to determine the designation of the orbital i.e. the size of orbital and shape of orbital using n and l which are principal quantum number and angular quantum respectively.
The principal quantum number is used to determine the size of orbital using natural numbers.
So if n= 4 that means the size of orbital is 4.
The angikar quantum number is used to determine the shape of orbital.
If l=0 the orbital is spherical or s , l=1 the orbital is polar or p and if l=2 then the orbital is cloverleaf or d , if l=3 then it's for f .
Since here it's provided as l=3 so it's a cloverleaf.
Since here n=4, l=3
The designation of orbital is 4f.
