Im confused because (CH3)2NH2 isn't given in the tables so how would I find the Ka for it?

Re: Chapter 2, Question 31

Because n=6 l is able to equal 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. l in this case equals 3 which refers to f orbital. Theoretically this is a possible orbital but it is just not the ground state of any element on the periodic table.

Re: Chapter 2 Homework Number 2.27

To figure this out you must know what each number of l stands for.
for example:
L=0 its an S orbital
L=1 its a P orbital
L=2 its a D orbital
L=3 its a F orbital

so for n=5 and l=2 it would be 5D
