Study Notes
Principle Quantum Number (n)
- Specifies the energy level of the electron
- Determines the size of the orbital
- Can have values of 1, 2, 3, ... (any positive integer)
- Not a valid principle quantum number: 0, 5.5
- Higher the value of n, indicates a higher energy level and farther distance from the nucleus
Angular Momentum Quantum Number (l)
- Defines the subshell of the electron
- Possible values depend on the value of n
- Range: 0 to n-1
- For a given n, possible values of l: 0, 1, 2, ..., n-1
- For a d subshell, l can be 0, 1, 2, or 3
Magnetic Quantum Number (m_l)
- Specifies the orientation of the orbital in space
- Possible values: -l to +l
- For a p subshell (l = 1), possible values of m_l: -1, 0, +1
- Total number of possible values of m_l is 2l + 1
Shape of Orbital and Orbital Angular Momentum
- s-orbitals are spherical in shape
- Orbital angular momentum of an electron is directly proportional to the angular momentum quantum number (l)
Number of Orbitals and Electrons
- Total number of orbitals in a shell with principal quantum number n: n^2
- Number of orbitals in a p subshell: 3
- Maximum number of electrons that can be accommodated in a shell with n = 3: 18
Spin Quantum Number (m_s)
- Can have values of +1/2 or -1/2
- Electrons with opposite spins have the same energy
Electronic Configuration
- Electronic configuration of Neon (Ne): 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6
- In a filled subshell, all orbitals are fully occupied with electrons
