Which combination of quantum numbers is possible for an atom with five orbitals in one subshell?
A) n = 1, $\ell$ = 0
B) n = 2, $$\ell$$ = 4
C) n = 3, $\ell$ = 2
D) n = 4, $\ell$ = 4
E) n = 5, $\ell$ = 0

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The number of orbitals in a subshell is given by $2\ell + 1$. For $\ell = 2$, the number of orbitals is $2(2) + 1 = 5$, which matches the condition of having five orbitals.
