Quantum Numbers Flashcards
it takes integral values starting with 1.
first quantum number, n
it is said to be in the first principal level
n = 1
it is primary and important in determining the energy of an electron.
principal energy level of an electron
[T or F] as n increases, the energy of the electron increases.
True
it is the first principal quantum number
n
it is the second quantum number
l
an energy level defined by quantum theory.
sublevels
each principal energy level includes one or more…
sublevels
indicates the four sublevels
S, P, D, F
starts from 0 until (n-1)
L
the lowest energy sublevel
1s
[T or F] ns < np < nd < nf
True
third quantum number
m sub l
each sublevel contains one or more…
orbitals
-l …. l
third quantum number m sub l
