(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the given n and l value the subshell has to be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

The relationships among n, l, and ${\text{m}}_{\text{l}}$ for the first four shells are given by

n	l	Subshell	Possible ${\text{m}}_{\text{l}}$values	Number of atomic orbitals in subshell $2l+1$	Total number of atomic orbitals in shell $n^2$
1	0	$\text{1s}$	0	1	1
2	0	$\text{2s}$	0	1
2	1	$\text{2p}$	$1,0,-1$	3	4
3	0	$\text{3s}$	0	1
3	1	$\text{3p}$	$1,0,-1$	3
3	2	$\text{3d}$	$2,1,0,-1,-2$	5	9
4	0	$\text{4s}$	0	1
4	1	$\text{4p}$	$1,0,-1$	3
4	2	$\text{4d}$	$2,1,0,-1,-2$	5
4	3	$\text{4f}$	$3,2,1,0,-1,-2,-3$	7	16
