Question

Which value of n and k suggests about the shape of 3s orbital?

• A. 3,2
• B. 1,1
• C. 3,0
• D. 3,3

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

3,3

Since, the s orbital is spherically symmetrical in nature, i.e. circular, the n/k value should be 1.
Similarly, for 3s orbital, the shape will be circular. So, the value of n and k must be same, i.e. 3 in this case.
