principal quantum number energy level

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 assoc..

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 calle..

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 in..

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 describes the spin orien..

, +1 or p-subshell contains three orbitals called p- orbitals. If l=2, m may be -2, -1, 0, +1, +2 or d-subshell contains five orbitals called d-orbitals. Similarly, it can be shown that f-subshell can have seven orbitals. The number of orbitals in a subshells are given belo..

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 numbers. Each e..

Quantum Numbers - 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 mo..
