Electrons Flashcards
Shells increase in
Energy
Principle quantum number
N
Quantum
Energy required to move an electron to a higher energy level.
Heisenbergs uncertainty principle
Can not predict where electrons are in atoms we can only say where the greatest probability of finding them is.
Orbital quantum number
L
Other names for orbital quantum number (l)
Azimuthal quantum number
Angular momentum quantum

What is magnetic quantum number (ml)
Fells us about the orientation in space and the number of orbitals in a sub shell.
What is ml for s
