What designations are given to the orbitals having(i) n = 2, l = 1(ii)

1.	What designations are given to the orbitals having(i) n = 2, l = 1(ii) n = 2, l = 0(iii) n = 4, l = 3(iv) n = 4, l = 2(v) n = 4, l = 1?
Answer» (i) Here, n = 2, and l = 1 Since,l = 0 means a p orbital, hence the given orbital is designated as 2p. (ii) Here, n = 2 and l = 0 Since, l = 0 means a s orbital, hence the given orbital is 2s. (iii) Here, n = 4 and l = 3 Since, l = 3 represents f orbitals, hence the given orbital is a 4f orbital. (iv) Here, n = 4 and l = 2 Since l = 2 means d orbital, hence the given orbital can be designated as 4d orbital. (v) For, n = 4 and l = 1 Since l = 1 means a p-orbital, hence the given orbital is a 4p orbital.

Answer»

(i) Here, n = 2, and l = 1

Since,l = 0 means a p orbital, hence the given orbital is designated as 2p.

(ii) Here, n = 2 and l = 0

Since, l = 0 means a s orbital, hence the given orbital is 2s.

(iii) Here, n = 4 and l = 3

Since, l = 3 represents f orbitals, hence the given orbital is a 4f orbital.

(iv) Here, n = 4 and l = 2

Since l = 2 means d orbital, hence the given orbital can be designated as 4d orbital.

(v) For, n = 4 and l = 1

Since l = 1 means a p-orbital, hence the given orbital is a 4p orbital.
