Quantum Numbers and Orbital Shapes

What quantum number determines the overall size of the orbital?

• Principal quantum number = n

• Angular momentum quantum number = l

• Magnetic quantum number = m_l

• Spin quantum number = m_s

This shape is that of a...

• s orbital

• d orbital

• p orbital

• f orbital

Orbital sublevels, or L, represents:

• orbital color

• orbital shape

• electron spin

• energy level

If n = 2, what are the allowed values of l? Tick all that apply:

• 0

• 1

• 2

• 3

Why are orbitals often shown with shading or with 2 different colors?

• To indicate melanin

• To make them easier to see

• To visually represent the phase of the wave function in different lobes of the orbital
