Transcript text: An orbital with the quantum numbers $n=5, l=2, m_{l}=2$ may be found in which subshell? 5 s $5 p$ $5 d$ $5 f$ 5 g

Solution

Step 1: Identify the Quantum Numbers

The given quantum numbers are:

Step 2: Determine the Subshell from $ l $

The azimuthal quantum number $ l $ determines the subshell:

Given $ l = 2 $, the subshell is $ d $.

Step 3: Combine with Principal Quantum Number

The principal quantum number $ n = 5 $ indicates the energy level. Combining this with the subshell $ d $, we get the $ 5d $ subshell.

$\boxed{5d}$
