Question

Why 2p orbital is possible while,2d orbital is not possible?

Answer 1

Answer:

s,p,d,f are the value of l

s=l=0

p=l=1

d=l=2

f=l=3

we know that the value of l is from 0to n-1

if n is 2 then l is 2-1=1 that is p

when the value of n is 2 total sub shells are s,p only so that 2d sub shell is not present
