(a)
Interpretation:
The quantum number that is related to the average distance of the electron from the nucleus has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Erwin Schrödinger gave a model to describe the behavior of an electron in atoms through a wave function. The wave function is defined as a mathematical function for an electron wave that gives the amplitude of the wave at any point in space. It is represented by a Greek letter
The acceptable wave function is characterized by a set of four quantum numbers. These quantum numbers are related to the shape, size of the electron wave, and the location of the electron in space. These quantum numbers are represented by
(b)
Interpretation:
The name and symbol of the quantum number that is responsible for the shape of the electron probability distribution have to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
The quantum number that is responsible for the orientation of the electron cloud has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
