Question

State True or False.

The $3g$ orbital is not possible.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The given statement is true.
The 3g orbital is not possible.
For the principal quantum number n, the azimithual quantum number, l can have values 0 to $(n-1)$
Thus, when $n=3$, $l=0,1,2$.
Thus, only 3s, 3p and 3d subshells are possible.
