What is the maximum number of orbitals that can be identified with the following quantum numbers? n = 3, ℓ = 1, mℓ = 0. (Option A – 1) (Option B – 2) (Option C – 3) (Option D – 4)

Correct Answer: (Option A – 1)

Explanation:

n = 3, ℓ = 1, m = 0

Orbital is 3pz

So only one orbital can be identified with these quantum numbers.
