B

3

C

5

D

1

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
symbol .n. represent number of shells. symbol .l. represent value of subshell ans symbol ` m_(1)` represent value of orientation of the orbital .
` because ` Given, n = 3 l= 1 and ` m_(1) = - 1`
means an orbital is present is p-subshell of 3rd
shell having orientation value = - 1 .
( i.e. ` p_(x) "or " p_(y))` .
Thus, only one orbital is possibal for the given set values of n,l and ` m_(1)` .
Hence, option (d) is the correct answer .
