Think of the quantum number l as the number of nodes in the electron wave function.

For l = 0, there are no nodes, so you have a single spherical electron wave function, or an s orbital.

For l = 1, the wave function will have one node, so the orbital will have two lobes--that is, two areas of electron --that is a p orbital.

For l = 2, the wave function will have two nodes, dividing the electron wave function into three or four lobes. That is a d orbital.

So for l = 3, the wave function will have three nodes. Those are the f orbitals.

You can see a picture of the seven f orbitals

The atomic radii of transition metals do not decrease significantly across a row. As you add electrons to the d-orbital are you adding core electrons or valence electrons?

for discussion on atomic radii of the transition metals.

How many transition metals actually have used more than 8 valence electrons? Does $"Ag"$ have 11 valence electrons or 1 or what?

In terms of actual , there is literally only one example. You can consider that their oxidation states have never gotten higher than $+8$, except for Iridium: In terms...

What is the type of bond where electrons are shared between atoms. $H_2O$ electrons are shared between H's & O?

When electrons are unequally shared, it is a polar-covalent bond, and when one atom gets the electron exclusively the two charged ions form an ionic bond.

If the spin of one electron in an orbital is spin-up, what is the spin of the other electron in that orbital?

2 electrons can occupy an orbital, and there are only 2 possibilities to the spin. One election can be "spin-up", this means that the other electron has to be...

Why is a 3s orbital lower in energy than a 3p orbital in all atoms other than a hydrogen atom which only has a single electron?

Because of how there IS only one electron in $"H"$ atom. That single electron does not introduce orbital anguar momentum, so no matter what value of $l$, the orbital energies...

Why does an electron found in a 2s orbital have a lower energy than an electron found in a 2p orbital in multielectron systems?

The 2s and 2p orbitals have the same average distance from the nucleus. This would give them the same energy level. However the 2s orbital is a simple spherical...

Zinc phosphide, $Zn_3P_2$, is often used as a rat poison. Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons. How many valence electrons does each zinc atom lose?

And the zinc cation is $Zn^(2+)$. When the ions form a salt, clearly they form an electrically neutral species; and thus the formulation of the salt is $Zn_3P_2$. Each phosphorus...
