Chapter 6.9, Problem 1PPC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The maximum number of electrons available for an atom in an alternate universe with the given principal quantum number is to be determined and $m_l$ values.

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 represent $s,p,d,f$ orbital. For any $n$, $l=n-1$.

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