MCQ
What is the maximum number of orbitals that can be identified with the following quantum numbers?

$n = 3, l = 1, m_l = 0$

  • $1$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $3$
  • D
    $4$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$1$
a
The value of $n=3$ and $l=1$ suggests that it is a $3 p$ -orbital while the value of $m_{l}=0$ [magnetic quantum number ] shows that the given $3p-$orbital is $3 p_{z}$ in nature. Hence, the maximum number of orbitals identified by the given quantum
