    Question

    Total number of orbitals associated with third shell

    is-
    A 9 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    There are three subshells present in 3rd electron shell. These are 3s, 3p, 3d. we know, s -subshell has only one orbital p-subshell has three orbitals. d-subshell has five orbitals. So, total number of orbitals associated with 3rd shell = 1 + 3 + 5 = 9 Hence, there are nine orbitals associated with 3rd shell.
