Solution
Core Logic
The orbital is designated by combining the principal quantum number n and the letter for the azimuthal quantum number l. Given: l = 0 s l = 1 p l = 2 d l = 3 f
A. n = 2, l = 1 2p B. n = 4, l = 0 4s C. n = 5, l = 3 5f D. n = 3, l = 2 3d
Step 1: Final Match
A arrow II (2p) B arrow III (4s) C arrow IV (5f) D arrow I (3d)
Pattern Recognition
Orbital notation always places the integer n followed by the s,p,d,f designation corresponding to l = 0,1,2,3 respectively.
