spin quantum mechanics

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..

Although the Lewis structures give an idea of the valence electrons around the atom, in reality it does not precisely locate the position of the electrons in the chemical bond. The behaviour of electrons in molecules and compounds is made by the valence bond theory in terms of the quantum..

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 electron in an atom i..

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 momentum, which describe its loc..

This principle was proposed by Pauli in 1952. It states that no two electrons in an atom can have same values for all the four quantum numbers. Thus, in the same atom, two electrons may have the same values for three quantum numbers but the fourth must be different. Electrons ha..
