electron spin quantum number

It is observed that the electron is not only revolving around the nucleus but it is also spinning on its own axis. The spin of the electron produces a small magnetic field as a result of which the electron behaves as a 'tiny magnet'. This ..

The orientation of spin of an electron is designated by its spin quantum number 's'. The spin orientation is an intrinsic characteristic of the electron connected more with its magnetic behaviour rather than rotation of an ..

The four numbers, which are required to specify the position and energy of an electron in an atom are called quantum numbers. These are - principal quantum number (n), angular quantum number (l), magnetic quantumh..

Quantum Numbers - Schrodinger wave equation, when solved for hydrogen atom gives mathematical Y functions, which describe the allowed energy states in an atom. It is observed that physical meaningful solutions required three constants n, l and m, which are called quantum..

Orbitals of electrons in atoms differ in size shape and orientation. Definite energies and angular movements characterize atomic orbitals. The state of an electron in any atom is defined by certain permissible values of energy and angular momentum, which describe its location wi..

Orbitals of electrons in atoms differ in size shape and orientation. Definite energies and angular movements characterize atomic orbitals. The state of an electron in any atom is defined by certain permissible values of energy and angular momentum, which describe its locat..

The Azimuthal quantum number determines the angular momentum of the electron, denoted by the letter 'l'. The value of 'l' gives the sub level or sub shell in a given principal energy shell to which the electron belongs. It can have only positive integral val..

This quantum number describes the behavior of the electrons in the magnetic field. We know that the movement of electrical charge is always associated with magnetic fiel..

This quantum number determines the main energy level or shell in which an electron is present. It is usually denoted by n and can have any whole number value such as: n = 1, 2, 3, 4 .. etc. The various values of n as 1, 2, 3, 4 .etc., are also called K, L, M,..

The magnetic quantum number describes the behaviour of electron in a magnetic field. In the absence of external magnetic field electrons / orbitals having same values of 'n' and 'l' but different values on 'm' have the same energies. They are called degenera..
