State which of the following orbitals cannot exist ac n Q the quantum theory: 3p, 4s, 2f, and 1p. Briefl

Explanation / Answer

(a) L= can have n-1 values only so n cannot be equal to L

(b) ms can assume values to be +1/2 or -1/2 cannot be zero

(c) ml can assume values from -L to +L, thus -2 is not possible
