Within the `M` shell, there are__________kinds of orbitals, each having a different shape for the region where the electron is most likely to be found.

A

nine

B

six

C

four

D

three

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`M` shell corresponds to `n - 3`. If an electron has a principal quantum number of `3`, the possible values for `l` are `0,1`, and `2`. Thus, there are `3s, 3p`, and `3d` orbitals.
