Options
- AA-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I
- BA-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
- CA-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
- DA-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
Correct answer
C. A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
Step-by-step solution
The principal quantum number n represents the shell, and the azimuthal quantum number l represents the subshell. For l = 0 , the subshell is s . For l = 1 , the subshell is p . For l = 2 , the subshell is d . For l = 3 , the subshell is f . A. n = 2 , l = 1 corresponds to the 2p orbital. (A II) B. n = 4 , l = 0 corresponds to the 4s orbital. (B III) C. n = 5 , l = 3 corresponds to the 5f orbital. (C IV) D. n = 3 , l = 2 corresponds to the 3d orbital. (D I) The correct matching is A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I. Answer: A-I
