QuestionHow many orbitals are in a subshell with angular momentum quantum number $I=3$ ?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The quantum number $l$ is given as3. The number of orbitals in a subshell is determined by the formula $l+1$

STEP 2

We need to find the number of orbitals in a subshell. We can do this by using the formula $2l+1$ .
$Number\, of\, orbitals =2l +1$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given value for $l$ to calculate the number of orbitals.
$Number\, of\, orbitals =2*3 +1$

STEP 4

Calculate the number of orbitals.
$Number\, of\, orbitals =2*3 +1 =7$ There are7 orbitals allowed in a subshell if $l=3$ .
