Question

Statement I: The f subshell contains seven orbitals
BECAUSE
Statement II: The f subshell is defined by the secondary quantum number 3

• A. Statement $1$ and Statement $2$ are correct and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement $1$
• B. Both the Statement $1$ and Statement $2$ are correct and Statement $2$ is NOT the correct explanation of Statement $1$
• C. Statement $1$ is correct but Statement $2$ is not correct
• D. Statement $1$ is not correct but Statement $2$ is correct
• E. Both the Statement $1$ and Statement $2$ are not correct

Answer 1

The correct option is A Statement $1$ and Statement $2$ are correct and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement $1$

Statement $1$ is true and Statement $2$ is also true.

Secondary quantum number is $l=3$.

So magnetic quantum $[-l,l]$ number will be $[-3,3]$, which will have seven orbitals.

Therefore statement $2$ is correct explanation of Statement $1$
