Which of the following orbitals are not possible? 1p, 2s, 3f and 4d |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :(i) The first shell has only one sub-shell, i.e., 1s, which has only one ORBITAL, i.e., 1s orbital. Therefore, 1p orbital is not possible. (ii) The second sub-shell has two SUBSHELLS, i.e., 2s and 2p. Therefore, 2s orbitals are possible. (iii) The third subshell has three subshells, i.e., 3s, 3p and 3d. Therefore, 3f-orbitals are not possible (iv) The fourth shell has four subshells has four subshells, i.e., 4S, 4P 4d and 4f. Therefore, 4d-orbitals are possible |
