The number of orbitals of g-type — Atomic Structure Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

The azimuthal quantum numbers assigned to subshells follow the alphabet sequence: s ($l=0$), p ($l=1$), d ($l=2$), f ($l=3$), g ($l=4$). The total number of orbitals in a subshell is $2l+1$. For $l=4$, it is $2(4)+1 = 9$ orbitals. Therefore, correct answer is C.
