Question

What is the maximum number of orbitalks for each set of quantum numbers? If it is not possible to determine the maximum number of orbitals, then please provide an explanantion.

a) n=4 l=2 ml=-2
b) n=7 l=5
c) n=5 l=1
d) n=3 l=0 ml=+1

Answer 1

Answer:

See Below for answer!

Explanation:

In order to find the number of orbitals given the principal quantum number, n, we can use $2n^{2}$. For example n=2 would have 8 orbitals.

A) 32

B) 98

C) 50

D) 18
