Question

question 1 (5 points) how many orbitals are contained in the 2p sublevel? a) 1 b) 2 c) 3 d) 4

Explanation:

In atomic structure, p - sublevels (regardless of the principal quantum number, like 2p here) have 3 orbitals. These correspond to the three orientations (px, py, pz) in space. So the 2p sublevel contains 3 orbitals.

Answer:

c) 3
