What is the relationship between ml and l in terms of the number of values they have?
What is the relationship between ml and l in terms of the number of values they have?
- ml has twice the values of l
- ml has (2l+1) values, the same as the number of orbitals per subshell (correct)
- ml has one more value than l
- ml has one less value than l
According to Bohr, what is an orbit in an atom?
According to Bohr, what is an orbit in an atom?
- A fuzzy area where electrons are randomly found
- A precise path around the nucleus where an electron moves (correct)
- An undefined region with no electrons
- A specific location within the nucleus
Why do Bohr orbits have no real meaning?
Why do Bohr orbits have no real meaning?
- Due to the existence of multiple electrons in one orbit
- Because they are too small to observe
- Because their precise description is impossible according to Heisenberg uncertainty principle (correct)
- Because they exist outside the atomic structure
