Chapter 6.8, Problem 1PPC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The numbering for the highlighted boxes in the given diagram in the form of sets $\left(C,S,B\right)$ considered from the previous problem is to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Principle quantum number: This quantum number gives the number of shells in which electrons revolve. It is denoted by the symbol $n$.

Azimuthal quantum number: This quantum number gives the number of subshells or orbitals, in which electrons revolve. It is denoted by the symbol $l$. 0, 1, 2, 3 represents $s,p,d,f$ orbital. For any $n$, $l=n-1$.

Magnetic quantum number: This quantum number gives the orientation of a shell in space in which electron revolves. It is denoted by the symbol $m_l$. For any $l$, $m_l=2l+1$.
