The quantum number allows following orbitals in M shell:
Correct answer: E. s ,p & d orbital
- A. s-orbital
- B. s, p, d& f orbital
- C. s & p orbital
- D. All options are correct
- E. s ,p & d orbital
Explanation
The possible orbitals are the s, p, and d orbitals. The s orbital is spherical in shape, while the p orbitals are dumbbell-shaped and can be oriented along the x, y, and z axes. The d orbitals have more complex shapes and orientations. Therefore, in the M shell, the allowed orbitals are the s,p and d orbitals. So option E is correct.

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.
