Question

For n = 2 and l = 0, give the sublevel designation, the allowable m_l values, and the number of orbitals.

Sublevel designation:

s, p, d, or f?

Allowable m_l values:

0

-1, 0, +2

-2, -1, 0, +2, +1

or

-3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3

The number of orbitals:

Answer 1

m_l values are -l to +l including 0.

Here l = 0, so, allowable value of m_l would be 0.

The designation of the orbital is 'S'.
