The number of orientation of a sub-shell for Which n-4 and 1=3 is:
Correct answer: D. 7
- A. 1
- B. 3
- C. 5
- D. 7
Explanation
For the sub-shell with n-4 and l=3, the number of orientations is 7. This is because the number of orientations is given by 2l + 1. In this case, 2(3) + 1 = 7. Each orientation represents a specific arrangement of the sub-shell's electrons.
