Question

Which type of orbitals are found in the principle enegery level n=3? a. S,d

b. s,p,d
c. s,p
d. s,p,f
e. s,d,f​

Answer 1

b. s,p,d

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of orbitals found in the principal energy level n=3 is s, p and d orbitals.

Principal quantum number(n) denotes the energy level in which an orbital is located.

The principal quantum numbers takes values from n = 1, 2,3,4............

For example, the orbitals found in the principal quantum number with a value of 1 is s.

For n = 2, we have s and p

For n = 3, it is given as s, p and d

For n = 4, we have s, p, d and f
