NEET Chemistry Question (2026) — Solution

Question

Match List I with List II : List I (Quantum Numbers) List II (Orbital) 'n' 'l' A. 2 1 I. 3d B. 4 0 II. 2p C. 5 3 III. 4s D. 3 2 IV. 5f Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Options

  1. A. A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I
  2. B. A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
  3. C. A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
  4. D. A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV

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-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
