The principal energy level that consists of one s orbital and three p orbitals has a quantrum number of?

Its Principal quantum no is 2


What is the maximum number of s orbitals p orbitals d orbitals and f orbitals in any single energy level in an atom?

For fun, let's give them numbers instead of letters, and call s "0", p "1", d "2", and f "3".Then the number of distinct orbitals for any given principal quantum number (which is a more precise way of the concept you meant when you said "energy level") is twice the number plus 1... though the principal quantum number must be higher than the numbers we just gave the orbitals in order for there to be any at all (there aren't any 1p orbitals, for example). For principal quantum number of at least four, there are 1 s orbital, 3 p orbitals, 5 d orbitals, and 7 f orbitals. If we call the four quantum numbers n, l, m, and s, where n is the principal quantum number, l is the azimuthal quantum number, m is the magnetic quantum number, and s is the spin quantum number, the permissible values are: n - any integer such that 0 < n ("shell") l - any integer such that 0 <= l < n (orbital "type" - s, p ,d ,f, g, h, i, etc.) m - any integer such that -l <= m <= l (individual orbitals of type l) s - -1/2 or +1/2 (electron "spin")


The Quantum Number that defines the probable distance an electron is from the nucleus is the quantum number.?

secondary quantum numberI don't think it is a number, but it could be referring to the Orbitals, being S, P, D, and F. Each orbital is a specific shape and the orbitals are determined in blocks on the Periodic Table. The energy, or Quantum Number would go in front, such as 4p, which means the principal quantum number or energy level is 4 and the orbital shape is p. Hope this helps


What will be the number of orbitals for n shells?

Each shell has a total of n2 orbitals, where n is the principal quantum number. For N shells the total orbitals is therefore :- N2 + (N-1)2 + (N-2)2 +....+1


How many orbitals does n6 l3 ml1?

The "formula" is n2 - so for principal quantum number 4 there are 16 orbitals, correspnding to one X s orital, three X p orbitals, five X d orbitals, seven X f orbitals.

What does the principal quantum number tell you?

The principal quantum number is the level of the most energetic electrons in an atom. It also corresponds to which period the element is in on the periodic table. For example, barium has a principal quantum number of 6 because its valence electrons are in level 6, and the element is in period 6.
