The Relationship of Quantum Numbers and Electrons

What are Quantum Numbers?

• One of the three subatomic particles, along with protons and neutrons.

• A set of numbers that describe the position and energy of the electron in an atom.

• It describes the main energy level or shell occupied by an electron.

• A group of two or more atoms that form the smallest identifiable unit.

What are the four quantum numbers?

• Principal, Secondary, Magnetic, and Spin Quantum Numbers

• Physical, Secondary, Magnetic, and Spin Quantum Numbers

• Principal, Stationary, Magnetic, and Spin Quantum Numbers

• Principal, Secondary, Magmatic, and Spin Quantum Numbers

True or False: (m_S ) is the symbol for Magnetic Quantum Number.

• True

• False

Physical Quantum Number...

• Represents the number of possible orientations in 3-D space for each type of orbital.

• Represents the energy sublevel, or type of orbital, occupied by the electron.

• Represents the two possible orientations that an electron can have in the presence of a magnetic field.

• Represents the main energy level, or shell, occupied by an electron.

What is an Electron?

• It has two possible orientations that an electron can have in the presence of a magnetic field.

• It describes the main energy level or shell occupied by an electron.

• An atom that represents the energy sublevel, or type of orbital, occupied by the electron.

• A subatomic particle, along with protons and neutrons, that has a negative charge.

What is the Electron Configuration?

• A basic property of matter carried by some particles that shows how they are affected by an electric or magnetic field.

• A set of numbers that describe the position and energy of the electron in an atom.

• The arrangement of electrons in orbitals around an atomic nucleus.

• One of the three subatomic particles, along with protons and neutrons.

What are the different types of orbitals?

• s, b, d, f

• s, p, b, f

• s, q, d, f

• s, p, d, f

True or False: SPDF stands for Sharp, Principal, Diffuse, and Fundamental.

• True

• False

What does the Pauli Exclusion Principle state?

• It states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions.

• It states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of quantum numbers.

• It states that an electron can have in the presence of a magnetic field.

• It states the main energy level or shell occupied by an electron.
