Question

Using $s,p,d,f$ notation, describe the orbital with following quantum numbers

• A. $n=2$, $l=1$
• B. $n=4$, $l=0$
• C. $n=5$, $l=3$
• D. $n=3$, $l=2$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$n=2$, $l=1$

For s, p, d, f notation the values of quantum numbers can be :

for $n=2$ the angular momentum quantum no. = $l=n-1=1$

Thus option A is correct
