The following quantum numbers are possible for how many orbitals `(s) n = 3, l = 2, m = + 2` ?

A

`3`

B

`4`

C

`2`

D

`1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The three quantum numbers, `n, l`, and `m_(l)` enable us to lable completely an orbital. It is one of the `d` orbitals present in the `3d` subshell.
