@ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

whats your best guess

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

a c: cuz its the only one without a fraction

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

a is incorrect cuz the spin quantum number can have only two states : +1/2 or -1/2

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

whats your next best guess

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

then b c: cuz its the only one with positive

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

sorry i left btw /).(\ i had to say a baby dove from a hawk @ganeshie8

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

@ganeshie8 seriously can you help me bro...

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

oh god not this again .-. i just rescued a bird.... thus im going with b

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

b is wrong. you cannot have l=n

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

so then its c

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

it not C either cuz l starts from 0

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

yay d by default XD

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lol you better go thru that site and make sense of these FOUR quantum numbers

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

I dont understand science mumble jumble... seriously

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

i don't understand either, but if u read stuff, there is a chance that it will make sense

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

well for right now i have you to compare my senses with XD
