Why 2d3d orbitals can not exist?

3d orbitals do exist and 2d orbitals dont exist because of the pauli exclusion principle which says only 6 electrons can exist in the 2nd shell, and you need at least 7 to get a d subshell

No, hybridized orbitals exist in molecules where atomic orbitals combine to form new hybrid orbitals. In isolated atoms, electrons occupy their respective atomic orbitals without hybridization occurring.

When both the electrons of s orbital are excited does that orbital exist?

Yes, all the orbitals always "exist" whether or not they have electrons in them or not. Orbitals do not exist in that they don't have a physical form, but they describe where electrons can be and what energy they will have.In an analogy, orbitals are kind of like highways... just because no cars are on them, doesn't mean they don't exist, they are just empty! But of course, orbitals aren't made of concrete (or anything else), so the analogy isn't great...

Can a 1p orbital exist?

No, a 1p orbital does not exist. The p orbitals start at the n=2 energy level. Within the p subshell, there are three separate p orbitals (px, py, pz).


Does 2d orbital exist?

In the context of atomic orbitals, the 2d orbital does not exist. The electron orbitals in an atom are defined by three quantum numbers: principal quantum number (n), angular momentum quantum number (l), and magnetic quantum number (m). The angular momentum quantum number (l) can take values of 0 to (n-1), meaning the d orbitals start at l=2, corresponding to the 3d orbitals.
