2.6 quantum numbers Flashcards
what are the 4 quantum numbers and their symbol?
principal quantum number (n)
angular momentum quantum number (l)
magnetic quantum number (msubl)
e- spin quantum number (msubs)
how can properties of e- orbitals be described?
quantum numbers
what are the potential values for (n)
integers 1, 2, 3, …
how does the principal quantum number describe the orbital?
it is related to the size and E of the orbital
as (n) increases the orbital becomes ______
larger
the e- spends more time farther from the nucleus as ______ increases
(n) principle quantum number
why does an increase in (n) mean a higher energy orbital?
the e- is less tightly bound to the nucleus and the E is les negative
what are the possible values of (l)
0 to n-1
which quantum number describes the shape of the orbitals?
(l) or the angular momentum Q#
(l) = 0 = ?
(s)
(l) = ? = (p)
1
(l) = 2 = ?
(d)
(l) = ? = (f)
3
what are the values of (msubl)
(l) and (-l) including 0
which Q# describes the orientation in space of an oribital?
magnetic Q# or (msubl)
