Question

what is the value of the azimuthal quantum number (l) for an election in the 4f orbital?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the relationship between orbital type and azimuthal quantum number

The azimuthal quantum number \( l \) is related to the orbital type. For \( s\) - orbital \( l = 0\), for \( p\) - orbital \( l=1\), for \( d\) - orbital \( l = 2\), for \( f\) - orbital \( l=3\)

Answer:

\(3\)
