(choose chapter or problem)

The contour representation of one of the orbitals for the n = 3 shell of a hydrogen atom is shown here.

(a) What is the quantum number l for this orbital?

(b) How do we label this orbital?

(c) In which of the following ways would you modify this sketch if the value of the magnetic quantum number, \(m_{l}\), were to change?

(i) It would be drawn larger,

(ii) the number of lobes would change,

(iii) the lobes of the orbital would point in a different direction,

(iv) there would be no change in the sketch. [Section 6.6]
