Lecture Question

[Brandon_Tran_2E]

So why did Dr. Lavelle include ... after the L quantum numbers for s,p,d,f,... if theres only four blocks??

[emily gao 1C]

there are higher energy orbitals that theoretically exist--> g would be the next one which would require 121 protons

[Sapna Ramappa 1J]

There are other levels that exist, but we'll just need to focus on s, p, d, and f, because those are the four main orbital types.

[Bingcui Guo]

I think the course will only cover these 4 orbitals cuz more would be more complex.

[Esther Lee 4H]

he said we only need to know the 4 for now I don't know if that means we're gonna cover the rest in the future or not but at least for this test we only need to know s,p,d,f
