Highly selective Backlog Qs for JEE MainChemistryStructure of Atom
Impossible orbital among the following is
Options
- A3 f
- B2 p
- C4 d
- D2 s
Correct answer
A. 3 f
Step-by-step solution
According to Bohr - Burry's scheme, Maximum number of e ⁻ in 3 rd orbital =3 n ² =3(3)²=18 and maximum number of e ⁻ in s-subshell =2 p-subshell =6 d-subshell =10 f-subshell =14 Therefore, 18 e ⁻ present in 3rd orbital enter in s, p and d subshell. Thereafter, there is no e ⁻ available for f-subshell. That's why 3 f subshell is not possible.
