Question
How many orbitals in an atom can have the designation $5 p, 3 d_{z^{2}}$, $4 d, n=5, n=4 ?$
Step 1
For the $5p$ orbital: In the $n=5$ shell, there is only one $p$ subshell, and the $p$ subshell has 3 orbitals ($m_l = -1, 0, 1$). So, there is only 1 set of $5p$ orbitals, and it has 3 orbitals. Show more…
