For the principal quantum number n=4, how many possible values are there for the angular momentum quantum number (l )? (2 points) 2 4 6 8

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

@Cuanchi

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

Is this 4?

OpenStudy (jfraser):

What is the rule for L?

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

L = an integer from 0 to n-1

OpenStudy (jfraser):

So when n=4, L could have values of.. ?

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

IF 4-1 is 3 then it could have values from 0 to 3. So 0,1,2,3. That is 4 possible values

OpenStudy (jfraser):

Correct again

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

yayay!! :)

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

I don't understand this one: How many electrons in an atom can share the quantum numbers n= 2, l = 1, and m subscript l = -1? (2 points) 2 4 6 8

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

(2,1,-1, ) Is it similar to the last question?

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

but i'm not sure how i would figure it out

OpenStudy (jfraser):

Since 3 of the 4 are the same, the only QN that will be different is the last one. How many possible values can ms have?

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

ms can have 2 values

OpenStudy (jfraser):

Since there are only 2 possible values and 3 of the 4 are already assigned, how many electrons will have those QNs?

OpenStudy (jfraser):

(2, 1, -1, +1/2) is the first, and (2, 1, -2, -1/2) must be the second. No other possibilities exist

OpenStudy (jfraser):

That second one should still be (2, 1, -1, -1/2)

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

oh so only 2 possibles

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

ahh that makes sense, thank you! :)

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

so the answer is only 2

OpenStudy (jfraser):

It is only 2

OpenStudy (jfraser):

You should close all these finished questions to free up the space

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

they are all closed :)

OpenStudy (jfraser):

My app is still showing them all. It's probably me
