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 p orbital.

Front

What does 'g' refer to in quantum mechanics?

Back

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

Front

What does 'i' signify in quantum mechanics?

Back

The imaginary unit, which is used in complex numbers and quantum wave functions.

Front

What is the significance of quantum numbers?

Back

They describe the properties of atomic orbitals and the electrons in those orbitals.

Front

How many principal quantum numbers can an electron have?

Back

An electron can have one principal quantum number, which can be any positive integer (n=1, 2, 3,...).

Front

What is the maximum value of 'l' for a given 'n'?

Back

The maximum value of 'l' is n-1.

Front

What are the possible values of 'l' for n=2?

Back

For n=2, the possible values of 'l' are 0 and 1.

Front

What shape does a p orbital have?

Back

A p orbital has a dumbbell shape.
