Question

In each of the examples below select the choices which are correct sets of values for n, l, and ml for an orbital in the subshell given. Select all correct choices in each example.

(a) An orbital in the 6p subshell.

n = 6, l = 1, ml = +1n = 6, l = 1, ml = 0

n = 6, l = 3, ml = +2

n = 6, l = 1, ml = -1

n = 6, l = 1, ml = +2

n = 6, l = 2, ml = 0

(b) An orbital in the 3d subshell  

n = 3, l = 2, ml = +2

n = 3, l = 2, ml = -1

n = 3, l = 3, ml = +2

n = 3, l = 2, ml = 0

n = 4, l = 3, ml = 0

n = 3, l = 2, ml = +3

(c) An orbital in the 5f subshell  

n = 5, l = 3, ml = +3

n = 5, l = 3, ml = 0

n = 5, l = 4, ml = +3

n = 5, l = 3, ml = -4

n = 5, l = 4, ml = 0

n = 5, l = 3, ml = -2

Explanation / Answer

For given value of n , l   will have values of ( 0 , 1, 2.... upto n-1).

ml will have values from - l , -l-1, ..0 , 1,...l   ( i.e - l to + l) .

Based on this

a) 6p means n = 6 , l = 1 , ml can be - 1, 0 , +1

b) 3d means n = 3 , l = 2 , ml can be -2, -1 , 0 , 1 , 2

c) 5f means n = 5 , l = 3 , ml = -3, -2, 0 , 1, 2, 3
