Question

Part A Which of the sets of quantum numbers below correctly specifies an orbital? Set 1) n=2./= 0, and m = 0 Set 2) n = 7,8 = 5, and m = -4 Set 3) n= 3,1 = -2, and mi = 1 Set 4) n= 2.1 = 2, and m = 1 View Available Hintis) sets 1 and 2 set 3 only sets 1 and 4 set 1 only

Answer 1

1)

set 1:

This is valid

set 2:

This is valid

set 3:

l can't be negative

l can't be -2

Hence, this is not valid

set 4:

l must be less than n

Here value of n is 2

But value of l is 2

so, l can't be 2

Hence, this is not valid

Answer: set 1 and 2

2)

It has 2 lobes.

This is p orbital

Answer: a p orbital
