Question:Consider the orbitals shown here in the outline.
(a) What is the maximum number of electrons contained in an orbital of type (x)? Of type (y)? Of type (z)?
(b) How many orbitals of type (x) are found in a shell withn= 2? How many of type (y)? How many of type (z)?
(c) Write a set of quantum numbers for an electron in an orbital of type (x) in a shell withn= 4. Of an orbital of type
(y) in a shell withn= 2. Of an orbital of type (z) in a shell withn= 3.

Which atom and/or ion is (are) isoelectronic with\(\begin{aligned}{{}{}}{{\bf{B}}{{\bf{r}}^ + }:{\rm{ }}{\bf{S}}{{\bf{e}}^{{\bf{2}} + }},{\rm{ }}{\bf{Se}},{\rm{ }}{\bf{A}}{{\bf{s}}^--},{\rm{ }}{\bf{Kr}},{\rm{ }}{\bf{G}}{{\bf{a}}^{{\bf{3}} + }},{\rm{ }}{\bf{C}}{{\bf{l}}^--}?}\\\;\end{aligned}\)
The ionic radii of the ions \({{\bf{S}}^{{\bf{2}}-}},{\rm{ }}{\bf{C}}{{\bf{l}}^-},{\rm{ }}{\bf{and}}{\rm{ }}{{\bf{K}}^ + }\) are 184, 181, 138 pm respectively. Explain why these ions havedifferent sizes even though they contain the same number of electrons.
