The principal energy level that consists of one s orbital and three p orbitals has a quantrum number of?
The principal energy level that consists of one s orbital and three p orbitals has a quantum number of 2. The s orbital is part of the first principal energy level (n=1) and the p orbitals are part of the second principal energy level (n=2).
The principal quantum number of the first d subshell is?
The principal quantum number of the first d subshell is 3. In the case of d orbitals, they start appearing in the n=3 energy level.
What is the maximum number of s orbitals p orbitals d orbitals and f orbitals in any single energy level in an atom?
For fun, let's give them numbers instead of letters, and call s "0", p "1", d "2", and f "3".Then the number of distinct orbitals for any given principal quantum number (which is a more precise way of the concept you meant when you said "energy level") is twice the number plus 1... though the principal quantum number must be higher than the numbers we just gave the orbitals in order for there to be any at all (there aren't any 1p orbitals, for example). For principal quantum number of at least four, there are 1 s orbital, 3 p orbitals, 5 d orbitals, and 7 f orbitals. If we call the four quantum numbers n, l, m, and s, where n is the principal quantum number, l is the azimuthal quantum number, m is the magnetic quantum number, and s is the spin quantum number, the permissible values are: n - any integer such that 0 < n ("shell") l - any integer such that 0 <= l < n (orbital "type" - s, p ,d ,f, g, h, i, etc.) m - any integer such that -l <= m <= l (individual orbitals of type l) s - -1/2 or +1/2 (electron "spin")
The Quantum Number that defines the probable distance an electron is from the nucleus is the quantum number.?
secondary quantum numberI don't think it is a number, but it could be referring to the Orbitals, being S, P, D, and F. Each orbital is a specific shape and the orbitals are determined in blocks on the Periodic Table. The energy, or Quantum Number would go in front, such as 4p, which means the principal quantum number or energy level is 4 and the orbital shape is p. Hope this helps
What will be the number of orbitals for n shells?
Each shell has a total of n2 orbitals, where n is the principal quantum number. For N shells the total orbitals is therefore :- N2 + (N-1)2 + (N-2)2 +....+1
A figure indicating the relative sizes and energies of atomic orbitals?
Atomic orbitals are regions in space where electrons are likely to be found. The sizes of atomic orbitals increase as the principal quantum number (n) increases. The energy of atomic orbitals increases with increasing principal quantum number and decreasing distance from the nucleus. The shape of atomic orbitals is determined by the angular momentum quantum number (l).
What is shell?
Orbitals with the same value of Principal Quantum number , n.
All of the orbitals in a given electron shell have the same value of the?

The principal energy level that consists of one s orbital and three p orbitals has a quantrum number of?
The principal energy level that consists of one s orbital and three p orbitals has a quantum number of 2. The s orbital is part of the first principal energy level (n=1) and the p orbitals are part of the second principal energy level (n=2).
The principal quantum number of the first d subshell is?
The principal quantum number of the first d subshell is 3. In the case of d orbitals, they start appearing in the n=3 energy level.
Does 2d orbital exist?
In the context of atomic orbitals, the 2d orbital does not exist. The electron orbitals in an atom are defined by three quantum numbers: principal quantum number (n), angular momentum quantum number (l), and magnetic quantum number (m). The angular momentum quantum number (l) can take values of 0 to (n-1), meaning the d orbitals start at l=2, corresponding to the 3d orbitals.
What is the total number of orbitals in n4 EL if the principal energy level is n4?
The "formula" is n2 - so for principal quantum number 4 there are 16 orbitals, correspnding to one X s orital, three X p orbitals, five X d orbitals, seven X f orbitals.

Is 1p a real or impossible orbital?
1p is not a valid orbital designation according to the rules for assigning quantum numbers to atomic orbitals. Orbitals are defined using the principal quantum number (n), azimuthal quantum number (l), magnetic quantum number (m), and spin quantum number (s). The orbital with n=1 and l=1 is designated as 2p, not 1p.
