(a)
Interpretation:
The maximum number of electrons in
Concept Introduction:
Principal Quantum Number (n): In an atom, theelectron energy mainly depends on principal quantum number. The energy of an electron becomes lower when the value of n is smaller. The orbital size also depends on n. The size of orbital increases with increase in value of principal quantum number (n)
Magnetic Quantum Number(
Spin Quantum Number (

- Describe briefly why the study of electromagnetic radiation has been important to our understanding of the arrangement of electrons in atoms.arrow_forward• list the number of orbitals of each type (1s, 3p, etc) in an atom.arrow_forwardAssign a correct set of four quantum numbers for (a) Each electron in a nitrogen atom. (b) The valence electron in a sodium atom. (c) A 3d electron in a nickel atom.arrow_forward
- Are the following statements true for the hydrogen atom only, true for all atoms, or not true for any atoms? a. The principal quantum number completely determines the energy of a given electron. b. The angular momentum quantum number, l, determines the shapes of the atomic orbitals. c. The magnetic quantum number, ml, determines the direction that the atomic orbitals point in space.arrow_forwardAnswer the following questions, assuming that ms, could have three values rather than two and that the rules for n, l, and ml are the normal ones. a. How many electrons would an orbital be able to hold? b. How many elements would the first and second periods in the periodic table contain? c. How many elements would be contained in the first transition metal series? d. How many electrons would the set of 4f orbitals be able to bold?arrow_forwardBased on the Aufbau principle and the n + rule, which of following statements is correct?
