Question

Indicate the type and number of orbitals in each of the following energy levels or sublevels:
a. [latex]3p \space sublevel[/latex] b. [latex]n = 2[/latex] c. [latex]n = 3[/latex] d. [latex]4d \space sublevel[/latex]

Accepted Answer

a. The [latex]3p[/latex] sublevel contains three [latex]3p[/latex] orbitals.
b. The [latex]n = 2[/latex] energy level consists of one [latex]2s[/latex] and three [latex]2p[/latex] orbitals.
c. The [latex]n = 3[/latex] energy level consists of one [latex]3s[/latex], three [latex]3p[/latex], and five [latex]3d[/latex] orbitals.
d. The [latex]4d[/latex] sublevel contains five [latex]4d[/latex] orbitals.
