Questions and Answers

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?

  • 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?

  • 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
  • What is an atomic orbital in an atom characterized by?
