For n = 3 and l = 2, give the sublevel designation, the allowable ml values, and the number of orbitals.

Question

Sublevel designation:

s, p, d, or f?

Allowable m_l values:

0

-1, 0, +1

-2, -1, 0, +1, +2

Or

-3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3

Number of orbitals:

Answer 1

When l = 2, this signifies a d sublevel

When l = 2, the allowable values for ml are -2, -1, 0, +1, +2

The number of orbitals will be 5 (there are 5 d orbitals as indicated by the ml values above)
