Question

Which of the orbitals namely 1p, 2s, 3p and 3f are not possible? Give reasons.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1p and 3f are not possible

Explanation:

for 1p here n=1 (principal quantum no)

possible value for l is 0 to n-1 i.e =0

corresponding to this only s subshell possible

similarly for for 3f,l=0,1,2 i.e s,p,d subshell possible.
