Question

When the azimuthal quantum number has the value of $2$, the number of orbitals possible are :

• A. $7$
• B. $5$
• C. $3$
• D. $0$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$5$

Azimuthal quantum number is indicated by letter $l$ and its values are $0,1,2,3,...$ which indicates $s,p,d,f,....$.

Here the $l$ value is 2 so it is $d$ orbital it has $5$ orbitals. Hence option $B$ correct.

Hence the correct option is B.
