Q8 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2020 (17 Sep Shift 2) · Chemistry

Find the exact orbital from the following for which \(n=4\) and \(l=1\).

A
\(4 s\)
B
\(3 d\)
C
\(4 d\)
Correct answer
D
\(4 p\)

Solution

For, \(n\) (principal quantum number) \(=4\) and \(l\) (azimuthal quantum number) \(=1\) The orbital is \(4 p\). For, \(\begin{aligned} & 4 s \rightarrow n=4, l=0 \\ & 3 d \rightarrow n=3, l=2 \\ & 4 d \rightarrow n=4, l=2 \end{aligned}\)

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
