Recall that degeneracy is a count of all the different combinations of quantum numbers in a wavefunction that would result in the same energy. When we first described the hydrogen atom, we described it as a three-dimensional problem, so we said there were three quantum numbers. However, there is a fourth dimension that we just described in this unit, spin. So we've added a fourth quantum number. They are as follows: n, I, mj and mg. Write out all the possible combinations for quantum numbers for the following three scenarios: n = 1, n = 2 and n = 3. Count up all the possible combinations for each scenario and use the result to determine a general formula for the degeneracy. The general formula for degeneracy is. O 2n2 n2 O 2n+1 O n-1 O O O

Imagine an alternate universe where the quantum numbers for the hydrogen-like atom follow different rules. In this alternative universe, the m quantum number is only allowed to take zero or even numbers (ie. allowed quantum numbers are 0, +2, +4... but NOT +1). All other rules regarding the quantum numbers of the wavefunctions fo the hydrogen-like atom, including the maximum allowed values for quantum numbers I and m, are unchanged. All rules regarding filling orbitals with electrons, such as the Pauli exclusion principle, are also unchanged. In this alternate universe, what elements would you predict to be noble gasses? In your work, clearly indicate a) how many distinct s, p and d orbitals there are in your alternate universe and b) what is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy the s, p and d sub levels.
