Question:
Which quantum number provides information about the shape of an orbital?
Which quantum number provides information about the shape of an orbital?
Show Hint
Shape of orbital is given by azimuthal quantum number \(l\).
Updated On: May 19, 2025
- Spin quantum number
- Azimuthal quantum number
- Magnetic quantum number
- Principal quantum number
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Azimuthal quantum number (\(l\)) describes the shape of the orbital.
For example, \(l = 0\) (spherical, s-orbital), \(l = 1\) (dumbbell, p-orbital), etc.

- Assertion (A): In Rutherford’s alpha particle scattering experiment, the presence of only few alpha particles at angle of scattering \( \pi \) led him to the discovery of the nucleus.
Reason (R): The size of the nucleus is approximately \( 10^{-5} \) times the size of an atom and therefore only few alpha particles are rebounded.
