Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the maximum number of orbitals in a subshell where l = 1?
  • Step 1: Understand what 'l' represents. In quantum mechanics, 'l' is the azimuthal quantum number, which defines the shape of the orbital.
  • Step 2: Identify the value of 'l' given in the question. Here, l = 1.
  • Step 3: Use the formula to find the number of orbitals in a subshell. The formula is 2l + 1.
  • Step 4: Substitute the value of l into the formula. So, we calculate 2(1) + 1.
  • Step 5: Perform the calculation: 2(1) = 2, then add 1, which gives us 2 + 1 = 3.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the maximum number of orbitals in a subshell where l = 1 is 3.
