WE.44: What is the total number of orbitals associated with the principal quantum number n=3? Sol: For n=3, the possible values of / are 0,1 and 2. Thus there is one 3s orbital (n=3,/=1 and m,-1,0,+1); there are five 3d orbitals (03,1 = 2and m, = -2,-1,0,+1,42). ‘The same value can also be obtained by using the __ Felation; number of orbitals = n°, j,e3? =9 Scanned with CamScannerSol: _ idee Ua Wms i ‘2. | ee 'WEAS: Using s, p, d, f notations, describe the 1=0 orbital with the following quantum numbers an=2,1=1 5) n=4,1=0, gn=5,1=3 dn=3,1=2 n 1 orbital a2 1 2 4 0 4s 05 3 d3 2 3d Energy of Orbitals : ‘The energy of an electron in a hydrogen atom is determined by the principal quantum number.

It means , among the available orbitals, the orbitals oflowest energy are filled first. The energy value of an orbital increases as its (n+ 0) value increases. Iftwo orbitals have the same value for (n+ /), the orbital having lower ‘n’ value is first filled. The increasing order of energy’s different orbitals. is as follows.
