NEET Chemistry Quantum Mechanical Model MCQ Question
Consider a diagram showing a set of atomic orbitals, each labeled with quantum numbers n, l, and ml. Which of the following sets of quantum numbers correctly describes an orbital in the d subshell of the third shell?
n = 3, l = 2, ml = -2
n = 3, l = 1, ml = 0
n = 2, l = 2, ml = -1
n = 3, l = 0, ml = 0
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The d subshell corresponds to l = 2. In the third shell (n = 3), the d subshell is possible. Option A correctly lists n = 3, l = 2, and a valid ml value of -2.
