Quantum Numbers and Atomic Orbitals

What is the shape of the s orbital?

• dumbbell

• spherical

• flower

• flat

What is the shape of a p orbitatl?

• peanut

• spherical

• flower

• flat

What is the shape of the d orbitals?

• round

• spherical

• peanut

• flower or four leaf clover

What quantum number describes the energy level and size of an orbital?

• l

• m

• s

• n

What quantum number describes the spin of the electron?

• s

• l

• m

• n

What quantum number describes the orientation of the orbital and tells how many orbitals exist in an a sublebvel?

• n

• m

• l

• s

if n = 2, then "l" can equal

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 0 and 1

If n = 5, then "m" can be equal to

• 4,3,2,1

• -4,-3,-2,-1

• -4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4

• infinity

Why do electrons have opposite spins if in the same orbital?

• This condition creates more energy.

• This condition reduces friction.

• This condition results in less repulsion and opposite magnetic fields.

• This condition results in zero magnetism and removes the charge of the electron.
