If an electron has a principal quantum number (n) of 6 and an angular momentum quantum number (l) of 2, the subshell designation is
Added by John T.
Step 1
In this case, n = 6, so the electron is in the 6th energy level. The angular momentum quantum number (l) represents the shape of the orbital. It can have values ranging from 0 to (n-1). In this case, l = 2, which means the orbital has a shape of a d orbital. The Show more…
