Question

Complete the table below by filling in the principal quantum number n and angular momentum quantum number / for each electron subshell listed. subshell principal quantum number angular momentum quantum number X 5 ?

Answer 1

The subshell is represented by the principal quantum number(n) followed by the orbital.

Example. 2s subshell represents the principal quantum number as 2 and for the s-orbital angular quantum number(l) is 0.

Name of Subshell	Angular momentum quantum numbers(l)
s	0
p	1
d	2
f	3

Now,

1) For 5p,

Principal quantum number(n) = 5

Angular momentum quantum number(l) = 1 ; since from the table, for p-subshell l = 1

2) For 4f,

Principal quantum number(n) = 4

Angular momentum quantum number(l) = 3 ; since from the table, for f-subshell l = 3

3) For 6d,

Principal quantum number(n) = 6

Angular momentum quantum number(l) = 2 ; since from the table, for d-subshell l = 2

4) For 2p,

Principal quantum number(n) = 2

Angular momentum quantum number(l) = 1 ; since from the table, for p-subshell l = 1

Thus,

Subshell	Principal quantum number(n)	Angular momentum quantum number(l)
5p	5	1
4f	4	3
6d	6	2
2p	2	1
