Quick Question about orbitals
Quick question! Why does the # of orbitals increase by 2 per level? For example, why does S have 1 orbital and the next level, p, has 3 orbitals, d has 5 orbitals, etc? It increases by 2, why can't it increase by 1?

Re: Quick Question about orbitals
Good question!!! Chemistry is strange... this calls for an answer from Dr. Lavelle
