Chapter 6.8, Problem 1PPA

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of $n,l$, and $m_l$ for the given orbital is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The size of the orbital is determined by the value of principal quantum number, which is denoted by the letter $n$.

The shape of the atomic orbital is described by the value of angular momentum quantum number, which is denoted by the letter $l$.

The orientation of orbital in space is described by the magnetic quantum number, which is denoted by the symbol $m_l$.

The value of magnetic quantum number $m_l$ is determined by the following relation:

$-l\text{ to +}l$

Here, $l$ is the angular momentum quantum number.
