Chapter 3 Structure Flashcards
What are the four types of quantum numbers?
Principal, azimuthal, magnetic, spin
What is the principal quantum number?
Tells you about the size/shell.
n
What are the possible values for the principal quantum number?
One to infinity
What is the azimuthal quantum number?
Tells you about the sub shell or shape.
l
What are the possible values for the azimuthal quantum number?
Zero to N -1
What is the magnetic quantum number?
Tells you about the orbital or orientation.
m l
What are the possible values for the magnetic quantum number?
Negative L to Positive L
What is the spin quantum number?
It tells you about the spin.
m s
What are the possible values for the spin quantum number?
+/- 1/2
