What is the subshell corresponding to the following sets of quantum numbers? An example of how to write your answer is 2s.

Question

1. n= 2, l=1
2. n=2, l=0

Answer 1

Quantum number n indicates the energy level, the possible values are: 1∼7

quantum number l indicates the sublevel, when l = 0, it's s sublevel, l= 1, it's p sublevel, l=2, it's d sublevel, and l = 2, it's d sublevel.

1) n= 2, l=1 it's 2p sublevel

2) n=2, l=0 it's 2s sublevel
