Which of the following represent impossible combinations of n and l:
(a) 1p,
(b) 4s,
(c) 5f,
(d) 2d?
a) 1p: when n = 1 only s orbital is present there. Therefore, 1p is an impossible combination.
b) 4s: It is a possible combination.
c)\n5f: It is a possible combination.
d) 2d: when n = 2 only s and p orbitals are present. Therefore. 2d is an impossible combination.
a) 1p: when n = 1 only s orbital is present there. Therefore, 1p is an impossible combination.
