Interpretation:
The maximum number of electrons in an atom and their specified orbital are to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Principle quantum number describes the size of orbital by determining the number of shells in which the electron revolves in an atom. It is denoted by
Azimuthal quantum number confirms the shape of atomic orbital by determining the number of subshells or orbitals in which the electron revolves. It is denoted by
orbitals
Magnetic quantum number describes the orientation of orbitals in space. It is denoted by
Electron spin quantum number specifies the direction in which the electron spins. There are two directions in which the electron spins opposite each other.

- Which 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_forwardWhat is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy a f subshell (l = 3)?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
- What 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_forwardA bright violet line occurs at 435.8 nm in the emission spectrum of mercury vapor. What amount of energy, in joules, must be released by an electron in a mercury atom to produce a photon of this light?arrow_forward6.17 The laser in most supermarket barcode scanners operates at a wavelength of 632.8 nm. What is the energy of a single photon emitted by such a laser? What is the energy of one mole of these photons?arrow_forward
- Imagine a world in which the rule for the l quantum number is that values start with 1 and go up to n. The rules for the n and mi quantum numbers are unchanged from those of our world. Write the quantum numbers for the first two shells (i.e., n = 1 and n = 2).arrow_forwardLight with a wavelength of 405 nm fell on a strontium surface, and electrons were ejected. If the speed of an ejected electron is 3.36 105 m/s, what energy was expended in removing the electron from the metal? Express the answer in joules (per electron) and in kilojoules per mole (of electrons).arrow_forward
