alleryA 3p orbital is specified by:
A$n = 3$, $l = 2$, since 3p is the second p orbital
B$n = 3$, $l = 1$, since p corresponds to $l = 1$
C$n = 3$, $l = 0$, since p is the lowest subshell here
D$n = 2$, $l = 1$, since p always means second shell
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. $n = 3$, $l = 1$, since p corresponds to $l = 1$
p corresponds to $l = 1$; the principal quantum number is 3.
