Question

If the angular momentum quantum number, I, for a given electron is two (= 2), in what type of orbital will the electron be found? View Available Hint(s) a p orbital a d orbital an s orbital You cannot determine the type of orbital from the angular momentum quantum number

Answer 1

1)

l = 0 is for s orbital

l = 1 is for p orbital

l = 2 is for d orbital

l = 3 is for f orbital

Answer: a d orbital

2)

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
