n,l,p,g,i

Front

What does 'n' represent in quantum mechanics?

Back

The principal quantum number, which indicates the energy level of an electron in an atom.

Front

What does 'l' stand for in quantum mechanics?

Back

The azimuthal quantum number, which determines the shape of the electron's orbital.

Front

What is 'p' in the context of quantum numbers?

Back

The angular momentum quantum number, which corresponds to the shape of the orbital (p orbitals have a dumbbell shape).

Front

What does 'g' refer to in quantum mechanics?

Back

The g-factor, which is a dimensionless quantity that characterizes the magnetic moment and angular momentum of a particle.

Front

What does 'i' represent in quantum mechanics?

Back

The imaginary unit, often used in quantum mechanics to represent complex numbers.

Front

What is the significance of the principal quantum number 'n'?

Back

It determines the size and energy of the electron cloud around the nucleus.

Front

How does the azimuthal quantum number 'l' affect electron orbitals?

Back

It defines the subshells (s, p, d, f) and their shapes.

Front

What are the possible values of 'l' for a given 'n'?

Back

The values of 'l' range from 0 to (n-1).

Front

What is the shape of s orbitals?

Back

S orbitals are spherical in shape.

Front

What is the shape of p orbitals?

Back

P orbitals have a dumbbell shape.
