• s

• p

• d

• f

Answer explanation

Which type of orbital has an l value of 2?

• s

• p

• d

• f

Answer explanation

Which represents the angular momentum quantum number?

• n

• l

• m_l

• m_s

Answer explanation

Which represents the spin quantum number?

• n

• l

• m_l

• m_s

Answer explanation

Which represents the principal quantum number?

• n

• l

• m_l

• m_s

Answer explanation

What are the possible l values when n=2

• 0

• 0 and 1

• 0, 1 and 2

• 1

Answer explanation

l can have values from 0 to ( n-1)

when n =2 these values would be 0 and 1 ( since 2-1=1)

What are the possible m_l values when l=2

• 0

• -1, 0, +1

• -2, -1, 0, +1, +2

• -2 , 0 , +2

Answer explanation

l can have values from 0 to ( n-1)

when n =2 these values would be 0 and 1 ( since 2-1=1)

How many types of orbital can exist in shell n=3

• s only

• s and p

• s, p and d

• s, p, d and f

Answer explanation

l can have values from 0 to ( n-1)

when n =2 these values would be 0 and 1 ( since 2-1=1)
