Chemistry - Atomic Structure Question with Solution | TestHub
Match each orbital in Column I with the statements in Column II that are true for it ( is the azimuthal quantum number) (a Column I entry may match more than one Column II entry):
Column I (Orbital) | Column II (Statement) |
|---|---|
(P) 3p | (1) orbital angular momentum of the electron = |
(Q) 4d | (2) orbital angular momentum of the electron = |
(R) 4f | (3) orbital angular momentum of the electron = 0 |
(S) 2s | (4) total number of nodes = 1 |
| (5) total number of nodes = 3 |
| (6) number of radial nodes = 1 |
Choose the option with the correct matching:
Options:
Answer:
Solution:
L = ; radial nodes = ; total nodes = .
(P) (1); radial nodes 1 (6); total 2.
(Q) (2); total 3 (5); radial 1 (6).
(R) (not listed); radial 0; total 3 (5).
(S) 2s: L = 0 (3); total 1 (4); radial 1 (6).
Correct matching: P to 1,6; Q to 2,5,6; R to 5; S to 3,4,6. Answer: (D).
