Study Notes

Quantum Theory

Max Planck proposed that the energy of a heated atom is quantized, meaning it can only take on specific discrete values, rather than being continuous.

Electron Description

The quantum (wave) mechanical model describes an electron as a wave function, which gives the probability of finding the electron within a particular region of space.

Orbital Size and Energy Level

The principal quantum number (n) describes the orbital size or energy level of an electron, with higher values indicating higher energy levels and greater distances from the nucleus.

Secondary Quantum Number (l)

The secondary quantum number (l) is allowed to take on integer values from 0 to n-1, where n is the principal quantum number.

Spin Quantum Number (ms)

The spin quantum number (ms) describes the intrinsic angular momentum or spin of an electron, which can have values of +1/2 or -1/2, corresponding to "up" and "down" spin states.
