introduction to quantum mechanics electrons

This quantum number determines the main energy shell or energy level in which the electron is present. The principal quantum number gives the average distance of the electron from the nucleus and energy associated with it. It is denoted by the letter 'n' tha..

Principal Quantum Number (n) - 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..

Spin Quantum Number (s) - 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'...

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 electron about its own axis. This n..

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 degenerate orbital..

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 field. Since the revolving electron possesses angular momentum, it will give rise to a very small magnet..

This quantum number denotes the sub-level or subshell in a given principal energy shell to which an electron belongs. This is also called secondary quantum number. It is denoted by l and corresponding to each value of n, there are n possible values of l ranging f..
