The Angular Momentum Quantum number L, defines how many types of orbitals can exist.

For a particular Quantum Level n, L is defined as any integer from 0 to L = n-1.

For example, for the energy level n = we must have, L = 0 or 1.

L=0 relates to the s-orbital

L=1 relates to the p-orbital

L=2 would relate to the d-orbital, but we can see here that for n=2, L cannot = 2

Which of the following atomic orbital designations are incorrect 7f 6p 2d 3f?

The incorrect atomic orbital designation from the list provided is 7f. The correct designations are 6p, 2d, and 3f. The main energy levels for orbitals typically range from 1 to 7, and the "f" orbitals are found starting from the 4th principal energy level.


Which of the orbital designation are invalid 4s 3f 2d 3d?

The orbital designations 3f and 2d are invalid. The letter "f" is not used to designate orbitals, and the numbers in the designation should follow a specific order: 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, etc.


Which of these orbital designations are invalid a. 4s b. 2d c. 3f d. 3p?

The s orbital is present in all valid principal quantum number shells.The p orbital is present in n = 2 and higher.The d orbital is present in n = 3 and higher.The f orbital is present in n = 4 and higher.So the invalid ones are b (there are no 2d orbitals) and c (there are no 3f orbitals). 4s and 3p are perfectly legitimate.


What combinations of n and i represent real orbitals and which do not exist?

3f


Can 3f orbital be exist?

no because f orbitals are not energetically available until the n=4 quantum state


How much electrons can be in a 3f orbital?

There can be a maximum of 14 electrons in any "f" orbital. However, the 3f orbital does not exist. f orbitals are only found in quantum energy level 4 and above.


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.


What orbitals is not possible 3p 4s 2d 5f?

It is not possible to have a 5f orbital as it is not part of the main energy level orbitals (s, p, d). The order is typically s, p, d, f.


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

Why 2d and 2f orbitals are not possible?

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.


How many types of orbitals are in energy level three?

In energy level three, there are four types of orbitals: s, p, d, and f. Specifically, the 3s and 3p orbitals are available, as well as the 3d orbitals, which start to fill at this energy level. The 3f orbitals do not exist in the third energy level; they begin in the fourth energy level. Thus, the total number of orbital types at energy level three is three: s, p, and d.
