What is the shape the orbital, whose “l” is 1?(a) Spherical(b) Dumbbell(c) Double dumbbell(d) ComplexThe question was asked in an international level competition.I would like to ask this question from Quantum Mechanical Model of Atom in chapter Structure of Atom of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

The correct CHOICE is (b) Dumbbell

Best explanation: The azimuthal quantum NUMBER is given by “L”. When l = 0, 1, 2 and 3, they are s-orbital, p-orbital, d-orbital and f-orbital respectively. The shapes of s-orbital, p-orbital, d-orbital, and f-orbital are Spherical, Dumbbell, Double dumbbell and Complex respectively.
