Atomic Structure Question 248

Question: For $ n=3 $ energy level, the number of possible orbitals (all kinds) are

Options:

A) 1

B) 3

C) 4

D) 9

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

When $ n=3 $ shell, the orbitals are $ n^{2}=3^{2}=9 $ . No. of electrons $ =2n^{2} $
Hence no. of orbital $ =\frac{2n^{2}}{2}=n^{2} $ .
