Question

What is the lowest value of n that allows f orbital and p orbital to exist?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Q.24:- What is the lowest value of n that allows g orbitals to exist? For any value 'n' of principal quantum number, the Azimuthal quantum number (l) can have a value from zero to (n – 1). An electron is in one of the 3d orbitals

Answer 2

The lowest value of n that allows f orbital and p orbital to exist is 4.

• Azimuthal Quantum Number describes the shape of a given orbital.
• It is denoted by the symbol 'l' and its value is equal to the total number of angular nodes in the orbital.

• For f-orbital, Azimuthal quantum number, l =3 as:

                        l=0  for s orbital,

                        l=1 for p orbital,

                        l=2 for d orbital,

                        l=3 for f orbital,

                        l=4 for g orbital,

• as value of l is from 0 to (n-1) .

              where n=Principal quantum number

• 3 = n - 1

        n = 4

The lowest value of n that allows f orbital and p orbital to exist is 4.
