The electron in 2p subshell is on the second energy level. Its orbital is
ℓ=1 since it contains p-orbital. The possible magnetic quantum number
values can only be -1,0, and 1.
In order to find the total possible orbitals for every n value, we need
to find all possible values of ℓ and determine mℓ values. The number of
orbitals is equal to the sum of all mℓ values.
For n=3, the possible values of ℓ are 0, 1, and 2. Thus, there is one 3s
orbital (n=3, ℓ=0, and mℓ = 0); there are three 3p orbitals (n=3, ℓ =2, and mℓ
= -1,0,1); there are five 3d orbitals (n=3, ℓ =2, and mℓ = -2,-1,0,1,2). Thus, the
total number of orbitals is:

Multiplicity, we can determine that it contains 10 complete electrons. It can
also be determined since the magnetic quantum number is the highest
possible value on the d orbital, and the spin quantum number is -1/2.
ACTIVITY 3
Given the following set of quantum numbers, identify the Subshell in which
the electron is located. If one of the values makes the set of numbers invalid, write
“INVALID” on the column for Subshells. The first one is done for you.
n ℓ mℓ Subshell
2 0 0 2s
3 1 1 3p
INVALID
2 1 -2 The lowest mℓ
value is -1
4 3 -1 4f
INVALID
1 0 1 The only mℓ value
on s orbital is 0

INVALID
4 5 -3 The largest value
of AQN is 3
Directions: Below are real lifes situations in which you can apply the Aufbau
Principle and Hund’s Rule. Read the situations below and determine if they pertain
to Aufbau Principle or Hund’s Rule.
