Question

Total number of degenerate orbitals in the third shell

Answer 1

Answer:

The total no of orbitals equal to total no of magnetic quantum numbers a subshell can possess. The total no of magnetic no a subshell can possess is given by total nos from -l to +l or mathematically 2l+1. Hence it has 5 degenerate orbitals.

Answer 2

Explanation:

5 degenerate orbitals
