introduction to quantum mechanics electrons

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, N etc. If n = 1, th..

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 quantum number desc..

Magnetic Quantum Number (m) - 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, ..

According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, it is impossible to describe the exact position of an electron at a given moment in terms of position, we can speak of most probable regions where the probability of finding an electron in the space around the nucleus of an atom ..

Azimuthal or Angular Quantum Number (l) - 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..

Introduction - In the nineteenth century scientists saw enough evidence to prove that each element has its distinctive atom. But all tem atoms contain identical electrons. In spite of the fact that electrons carry negative charge, atoms as whole were found to be neutra..

Introduction - Transportation whether in plants or animals is the key to the efficient assimilation of the nutrients that the organisms synthesise, get from their environment or digest. The study of these processes helps us in many ways. The study of transport mechanisms in plan..

A compound where the chiral carbon atom is attached to a hydrogen atom and an electron-attracting group can undergo racemisation readily. The mechanism is enolisation. For e.g..
