Question

Which of the following orbitals does not exist 6s, 3p, 2d, 4f

Answer 1

Answer:2d

Explanation:just remember...the series....1s,2s,2p,3s,3p,4s,3d...........

Answer 2

2d orbital does not exist.

• The K shell of an atom contains only one subshell which is 1s.
• The L shell of an atom contains only two subshells which are 2s and 2p.
• Similarly, the M shell contains three subshells that are 3s, 3p and 3d.
• The other orbitals 6s, 3p and 4f exist.
• Hence 2d or orbital does not exist.
