Orbitals of the same__________but different__________are said to belong to different subshells of a given shell.

Options

A. `n, l`
B. `l ,n`
C. `l, m_(l)`
D. `m_(l), l`

Answer

A

Explanation

One or more orbitals with the same `n` and `l` values are referred to as sunshells. For example, the shell with `n = 2` is composed of two subshells, `l = 0` and `1` (the allowed values for `n = 2`). The different subshells are usually denoted by letters as follows:
`{:(Let ter,s,p,d,f,g...),(l,0,1,2,3,4...):}`
To denote a subshell within a particular shell, we write the value of the quantum number `n` for the shell, followed by the letter designation. for example, `2p` denotes a subshell with quantum numbers, `n = 2` and `l = 1`.
