Three quantum numbers are derived from Schrodinger’s equation that describe the probability of finding an electron around a nucleus: the principal quantum number, the angular momentum quantum number, and the magnetic quantum number. Explain each quantum number, including associated shapes, numbers, letters, and values in your own words.

Respuesta :

Principle: Orbital size & main energy level

Angular: Orbital shape

Magnetic: Orbital orientation

Orbital size is Principle; main energy level is Principle; shape is Angular; orientation is Magnetic

Principle:

imagine a bullseye. each ring shows how far its from the nucleus

Angular:

0 looks like circle

1 looks like a bowtie

2 looks like a flower or 4 leaf clover

3 looks like multiple lobes

Principle Quantum Number: It describes the size of the orbital and the main energy level. It is represented by n. Where, n = 1,2,3,4....stands for K, L, M, N shell and so on..

Angular momentum Quantum Number : It describes the shape of the orbital. It is represented as 'l'. The value of l ranges from 0 to (n-1). For l = 0,1,2,3... the orbitals are s, p, d, f...

Magnetic Quantum Number : It describes the orientation of the orbitals. It is represented as . The value of this quantum number ranges from . When l = 2, the value of  will be -2, -1, 0, +1, +2.
