Question

What is the correct representation for the subshell with n = 2 and l = 1?

A. 2p
B. 1p
C. 1d
D. 2d

Answer 1

A. 2p
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

the value of 'n' represents the principle quantum number which determines the size of the orbital and the value of 'l' represents the azimuthal quantum number which describes the shape of the orbital. Every orbital has their specific value of 'l'

The value of l = 1, represents the p-orbital.

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.
