Quantum Numbers
The distribution of electron density in an atom is defined by Quantum numbers. They are derived from the mathematical solution of Schrodinger’s equaaation in the hydrogen atom. The four types of quantum numbers are the principal quantum number (
Principal Quantum Number (
The size of an orbital and the energy of an electron are specified by the principal quantum number (
Angular Momentum Quantum Number (
The shape of the atomic orbital is given by the angular momentum quantum number (
Magnetic Quantum Number (
The orientation of the orbital in space is given the magnetic quantum number (

- • identify an orbital (as 1s, 3p, etc.) from its quantum numbers, or vice versa.arrow_forwardWhat are quantum numbers? What information do we get from the quantum numbers n, l, and ml? We define a spin quantum number (ms), but do we know that an electron literally spins?arrow_forward(a) Use the radial wave function for the 3p orbital of a hydrogen atom (see Table 5.2) to calculate the value of r for which a node exists. (b) Find the values of r for which nodes exist for the 3s wave function of the hydrogen atom.arrow_forward
- State which of the following orbitals cannot exist according to the quantum theory: 3p, 4s, 2f, and 1p. Briefly explain your answers.arrow_forwardWhat is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy a f subshell (l = 3)?arrow_forwardWhich of the following sets of quantum numbers correctly represents a 4p orbital? (a) n = 4, = 0, m = 1 (b) n = 4, = 1, m = 0 (c) n = 4, = 2, m = 1 (d) n = 4, = 1, m =2arrow_forward
- Suppose that the spin quantum number did not exist, and therefore only one electron could occupy each orbital of a many-electron atom. Give the atomic numbers of the first three noble-gas atoms in this case.arrow_forwardWhat experimental evidence supports the quantum theory of light? Explain the wave-particle duality of all matter .. For what size particles must one consider both the wave and the particle properties?arrow_forwardThe ionization energy of rubidium is 403 kJ/mol. Do x-rays with a wavelength of 85 nm have sufficient energy to ionize rubidium?arrow_forward
