(C) Read the passage given below carefully and answer the questions that follow. [3×1]
A large number of orbitals are possible in an atom. Qualitatively these orbitals can be distinguished by their
size, shape and orientation. An orbital of smaller size means there is more chance of finding the electron near
the nucleus. Similarly, shape and orientation mean that there is more probability of finding the electron along
certain directions than along others. Atomic orbitals are precisely distinguished by what are known as
quantum numbers. Each orbital is designated by three quantum numbers labelled as n, l and ml.
1. Identify the quantum number which determines the size and energy of the orbital.
2. Using s, p, d notations, describe the orbital with the following quantum numbers.
