Question
An orbital is occupied by an electron with the quantum numbers $n=4, l=1 .$ How many orbitals of this type are found in a multi-electron atom?(a) $4 p, 3$(b) $4 s, 1$(c) $4 d, 5$(d) $4 p, 6$
Step 1
The principal quantum number $n$ denotes the energy level or shell in which the electron is present. The azimuthal quantum number $l$ denotes the subshell in which the electron is present. For $l=1$, the subshell is 'p'. Show more…
