**Question:**Which of the following orbitals cannot exist?**Options:**A) 2p B) 3d C) 4d D) 3f E) 162p **Explanation:**In atomic theory, orbitals are defined by the principal quantum number (n) and the azimuthal or angular momentum quantum number (l). The principal quantum number n determines the energy level, while the azimuthal quantum number l defines the shape of the orbital (s, p, d, f correspond to l values of 0, 1, 2, 3, respectively).- **Option A: 2p** - Valid; n=2 supports l=1 (p orbital).- **Option B: 3d** - Valid; n=3 supports l=2 (d orbital).- **Option C: 4d** - Valid; n=4 supports l=2 (d orbital).- **Option D: 3f** - Invalid; n=3 cannot support an f orbital, since f orbitals are possible only when n ≥ 4.- **Option E: 162p** - Valid in theory, though impractical. n=162 supports l=1 (p orbital).Therefore, the orbital that cannot exist is **D) 3f**.

According to the atomic structure, it consist of s,p,d,f,g..... Orbitals in their shell. According…
