(a)
Interpretation:
The general features of the given orbital shape are to be described.
Concept introduction:
Orbital is a three-dimensional region where the probability of finding of an electron is high. The principal quantum number describes the size of the orbital, azimuthal quantum number describes the shape of the orbital and magnetic quantum number describes the direction of an orbital.
