Four Quantum Numbers: Principal, Angular, Momentum, Magnetic, And Spin Flashcards
What does a quantum number describe ?
Specific aspect of an electron
4 ways to describe an electron is called what?
4 quantum numbers
Can you locate an electron at a given time?
No they’re very elusive
What is an atomic orbital
A 3D bounderie where an electron is probably found
Principal quantum number is represented by
n
n means
Describes which orbital the electron is in s, p, d , or f
Spdf represent ? And what is it represented by
The angular momentum of the quantum number or in simple terms the shape
Represented by L
S l= circle shape
P l= dumbbell shape
D l= 3D 4 leaf clover
F L= looks like an atom
S L= 0
P L= 1
D L= 2
F L= 3
Magnetic quantum number is ?
And what symbol does it represent
Position
ML
S= ml=0 P= ml= -1 0 1 D=ml = -2 -1 0 1 2 F= ml= -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3
- is faceinf down words on x axis
Positive is facing up on y axis
0 is facing up on z axis
Spin quantum number deals with the______ of an electron
Represented by
Spin +1/2 or -1/2
S or ms
