Which of the following orbital is not possible :-

Answer:

Solution:

For a given principal quantum number $n$ , the azimuthal quantum number $l$ can range from $0$ to $n - 1$ .

For $1 d$ , $n = 1$ , $l = 2$ . This is not possible as $l$ must be $< n$ .

For $3 g$ , $n = 3$ , $l = 4$ . This is not possible as $l$ must be $< n$ .

Therefore, both $1 d$ and $3 g$ orbitals are not possible. So, the answer is All of these.
