Question

(a) Give the values for n, l, and m for each orbital in the 2Psubshell, Enter your answer as sets of values of n, l, and m for different orbitals separated by commas. Separate values within each set by semicolons. Enter your answers in order of increasing n, then in order of increasing l, and then in order of increasing m. (b) Give the values for n, l, and m, for each orbital in the 5d subshell. Enter your answer as sets of values of n, l, and m for different orbitals separated by commas. Separate values within each set by semicolons. Enter your answers in order of increasing n, then in order of increasing l, and then in order of increasing m.

Explanation / Answer

(a) The sub shell is 2p.

%u2018n is the principal quantum number is the one which the energy of an electron in an atom principally depends. It can have positive value.

The n value for 2p sub shell is 2

%u2018l%u2019 is the azimuthal quantum number; It distinguishes orbitals of given n having different shapes. It can have any integer value from 0 to n-1

The l value for p orbital is %u2018%u20190 to 1%u201D

%u2018m%u2019 is the magnetic quantum number. It distinguishes orbitals of given n and l that is of energy and shape but having different orientations in space.

The m values for p sub shell are ml = -1,0,+1

Therefore, the n,l and m values are:

                n = 2; l = 0, 1; and m = -1,0,+1

(b) The sub shell is 5d.


%u2018n is the principal quantum number is the one which the energy of an electron in an atom principally depends. It can have positive value.

The n value for 5d sub shell is 5

%u2018l%u2019 is the azimuthal quantum number; It distinguishes orbitals of given n having different shapes. It can have any integer value from 0 to n-1

The l values for d orbital is %u2018%u20190 to 4%u201D

%u2018m%u2019 is the magnetic quantum number. It distinguishes orbitals of given n and l that is of energy and shape but having different orientations in space.

The m values for d sub shell are ml = -2,1,0,+1,+2

Therefore, the n,l and m values are:

           n = 5; l = 0, 1,2,3, 4; and m = -2,1,0,+1,+2
