Chapter 5, Problem 60A

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The designation of $n$Bohr’s atomic model needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The principal quantum number $n$ tells the energy of an electron and the distance of the electron from the nucleus.

Answer to Problem 60A

The quantum number $n$ specifies the electron's orbit.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

quantum number $n$

The principal quantum number $n$ mentions the size of the orbital and the energy level in which an electron is placed. The number of sub shells and tells about the shape of the orbital.

Conclusion

The quantum number $n$ specifies the electron's orbit.
