Question

What does a set of four quantum numbers tell you about an electron? Compare and contrast the locations and properties of two electrons with quantum number sets (4, 3, 1, +½) and (4, 3, -1, +½).

Answer 1

@abb0t @nincompoop

Answer 2

Redneck, what are the 4 quantum numbers?

Answer 3

I,M,S,N i think

Answer 4

And what do they stand for?

Answer 5

m not sure. im so lost in chemI

Answer 6

Look into your book and tell me what they call n. It will be in bold face in your chapter. Go on, look at it.

Answer 7

I dont have a book. all my stuff is online and It is weird @Preetha

Answer 8

Ok, go to your stuff online. There must be something that says, n is also called the principal quantum number. C'mon. You want to do well in Chem don't ya? I want to introduce you to your online stuff.

Answer 9

can you explain it to me?

Answer 10

Answer 11

YEs, but I want you to read about it in your text as well. So n = principal quantum number, higher n, the further the electron is and higher the energy level.
l = angular momentum qn, tells you the shape of the orbital (s, p,d, f) and m is the magnetic qn and tells you the orientation - px, py etc. Finally s is the spin quantum number and has two values + or -1/2.

Answer 12

okay!! thanks dude!!!
