Question

Given the subshells 1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p and 3d, identify those that meet the following descriptions.
(a) Has l = 2

Hello everyone today. We have the following problem among the following sub shells. And we have the sub shells labeled here, which is slash are described by the angular momentum quantum number L equals one. So the angular momentum quantum number Can have three or 4 different values. We have L equals zero. L equals one, two and three. And so each of these represents a sub shell. So if L equals zero, we have as an S. Sub shell. If L equals one, we have a P sub shell. If L equals two, we have a. D. Sub shell. End of L equals three. We have an S. Or an F. Sub shell. Using these sub shells in mind the angular momentum quantum number where L equals one, gives us a piece of shell. And so that gets rid of answer choices A. B. And D. And the only other option with two P. Sub shells is C. Which is four P. And five P. And with that we've answered our question overall. I hope that this helped. And until next time.
