Answer:
d orbital
Explanation:
Given that:-
The principal quantum number, n = 3
The acceptable values of azimuthal quantum number, l are:-
l = 0 , 1 , 2
l = 0 corresponds to s orbital which can accomodate 2 electrons.
l = 1 corresponds to p orbital which can accomodate 6 electrons.
l = 2 corresponds to d orbital which can accomodate 10 electrons.
Thus, the highest energy orbital is: - d orbital
