The quantum number allows following orbitals in M shell:
- A
s-orbital
- B
s, p, d& f orbital
- C
s & p orbital
- D
All options are correct
- E
s ,p & d orbital
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.
This option is incorrect because the M shell has three orbitals: s, p, and d orbitals.
This option is incorrect because the M shell has three orbitals: s, p, and d orbitals.
This option is incorrect because the M shell has three orbitals: s, p, and d orbitals.
This option is incorrect as only correct option is E.
This option is correct as the M shell has three orbitals: s, p, and d orbitals.
