When the azimuthal quantum number has the value `2`, the number of orbitals possible is

A

`5`

B

`7`

C

`0`

D

`3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Each subshell of quantum number `l` contains `2l +1` orbitals. Thus, if `l = 2`, then there are `(2xx2) +1=5` orbitals.
