The number of orbitals in a given subshell, such as the 5d subshell, is determined by the number of possible values of the magnetic quantum number. Each orbital in a subshell is designated by a unique set of quantum numbers, including the magnetic quantum number that specifies the orientation of the orbital in space. In the case of the d subshell, there are five possible values for the magnetic quantum number (-2, -1, 0, 1, 2), so there are five orbitals in the 5d subshell.
Atomic orbitals are regions in space where electrons are likely to be found. The sizes of atomic orbitals increase as the principal quantum number (n) increases. The energy of atomic orbitals increases with increasing principal quantum number and decreasing distance from the nucleus. The shape of atomic orbitals is determined by the angular momentum quantum number (l).
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.
5 sub-orbitals with (max.) two electrons in each, so 10 in total. This is also true for 4d and 5d orbitalsSymbols:dz2 , dxz ,dyz ,dxy ,dx2-y2
The atomic states with principal quantum number 4 can have orbital angular momentum quantum numbers from -4 to 4. Hence there are 9 possible values of the orbital angular momentum quantum number. Each electron can have spin +1/2 or -1/2, so each of the states specified by a given orbital angular momentum quantum number can have at most two electrons in the state without violating Pauli's exclusion principle. So, in sum, there are 18 possible states for an electron with principal quantum number 4.
The magnetic quantum number ( m ) for f orbitals can take on integer values ranging from (-l) to (+l), where ( l ) is the azimuthal quantum number associated with f orbitals. For f orbitals, ( l = 3 ), so the possible values of ( m ) are (-3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3). This results in a total of seven possible values for ( m ).
The number of orbitals in a given subshell, such as the 5d subshell, is determined by the number of possible values of the magnetic quantum number. Each orbital in a subshell is designated by a unique set of quantum numbers, including the magnetic quantum number that specifies the orientation of the orbital in space. In the case of the d subshell, there are five possible values for the magnetic quantum number (-2, -1, 0, 1, 2), so there are five orbitals in the 5d subshell.
The 2d and 2f orbitals are not possible because of the constraints imposed by quantum mechanics and the principal quantum number (n). The principal quantum number n specifies the energy level and size of the orbital, and for any given n, the maximum angular momentum quantum number (l) can only take values from 0 to n-1. Therefore, for n=2, l can only be 0 (s orbital) or 1 (p orbital), making the 2d and 2f orbitals non-existent.

The names of the g orbitals are: 4g, 5g, and 6g. These orbitals have an angular momentum quantum number l=4.

For the principal quantum number ( n = 2 ), the possible values of the azimuthal quantum number ( l ) are 0 and 1 (since ( l ) can take on values from 0 to ( n-1 )). For each value of ( l ), the magnetic quantum number ( m_l ) can take values from (-l) to (+l). Therefore, for ( l = 0 ), ( m_l = 0 ) (1 combination), and for ( l = 1), ( m_l ) can be (-1, 0, +1) (3 combinations). In total, there are ( 1 + 3 = 4 ) possible combinations of ( l ) and ( m_l ) for ( n = 2 ).
The atomic states with principal quantum number 4 can have orbital angular momentum quantum numbers from -4 to 4. Hence there are 9 possible values of the orbital angular momentum quantum number. Each electron can have spin +1/2 or -1/2, so each of the states specified by a given orbital angular momentum quantum number can have at most two electrons in the state without violating Pauli's exclusion principle. So, in sum, there are 18 possible states for an electron with principal quantum number 4.
The lowest energy level that contains f orbitals is the fourth energy level, which is represented by the principal quantum number n=4. The f orbitals are found within the subshell designated as f.
The d orbital quantum numbers are azimuthal quantum number (l) and magnetic quantum number (m). They determine the shape and orientation of the d orbitals within an atom. The electronic configuration of an atom is determined by the arrangement of electrons in these d orbitals, which is influenced by the quantum numbers.
