Question

The minimum number of orbitals possible for a shell containing g subshell is

Answer 1

hey, here is your answer.......

we can calculate no. of orbiatals in a subshell by using the formula.,

no. of orbitals in a subshell = 2[l]+1

we need to calculate no. of orbitals in g-subshell as follows :

we know that 'l' value of g-subshell is '4'

no. of orbitals in g-subshell is 2[4]+1 = 8+1 = 9.

∴ No. of orbitals = 9 [ in g-subshell]

hope this helps you.......

thank you.......

plzz mark me as brainliest............

Answer 2

Answer:

25

Explanation:

for the shell to have g sub shell the minimum shell number or PRINCIPAL QUANTUM NUMBER's minimum value should be 5

then the Azimuthal Quantum number (l) = 0,1,2,3,4 or s,p,d,f,g

for the above Azimuthal Quantum numbers or sub shells the number of orbitals in each is given as follows

• s = 1
• p = 3
• d = 5
• f = 7
• g = 9

In order to find the total number of orbitals we need to calculate the sum of above numbers = 1+3+5+7+9 = 25

If u notice a pattern the total number of orbitals in a given shell = $n^2$

Where n is the shell number or PRINCIPAL QUANTUM NUMBER

this we also we find that

$5^2 = 25 \ when \ n =5$

Hence 25
