Quantum number values for '2p' orbitals are:
Correct answer: A. n=2, l=1
- A. n=2, l=1
- B. n=1, l=2
- C. n=1, l=0
- D. n=2, l=0
Explanation
n(principal quantum number)= 2 because it is in second shell. l(azimuthal quantum number)=1 because l is fixed for subshells like for s it is 0,for p it is 1,for d it is 2 and for f it is 3. m(magnetic quantum number)= +1 to -1 as there are 3 orbitals in p sub shell.

The more specific you are, the faster it gets fixed. A source beats an opinion.

About Atomic Structure
Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
