Find the exact orbital from the following for which \(n=4\) and \(l=1\).
Find the exact orbital from the following for which \(n=4\) and \(l=1\).
\(4 s\)
\(3 d\)
\(4 d\)
\(4 p\)
Solution
For, \(n\) (principal quantum number) \(=4\)
and \(l\) (azimuthal quantum number) \(=1\)
The orbital is \(4 p\).
For,
\(\begin{aligned}
& 4 s \rightarrow n=4, l=0 \\
& 3 d \rightarrow n=3, l=2 \\
& 4 d \rightarrow n=4, l=2
\end{aligned}\)
