MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION
30 sec • 1 pt
For a certain electron ℓ=0ℓ=0. What is the shape of the subshell electron cloud of that electron?
s orbital
p orbital
d orbital
f orbital
Answer explanation
For an electron with angular momentum quantum number ℓ=0, the shape of the subshell electron cloud is spherical, which corresponds to the s orbital. Therefore, the correct answer is the s orbital.

What are the nn and ℓℓ values for 4d4d electrons?
n=4 and ℓ=2
n=2 and ℓ=4
n=2 and ℓ=2
n=4 and ℓ=4
Answer explanation
The notation 4d indicates that the electrons are in the d subshell of the fourth energy level. Here, n=4 (the principal quantum number) and ℓ=2 (the azimuthal quantum number for d orbitals). Thus, the correct values are n=4 and ℓ=2.

How many orbitals in the d subshell?
7
1
5
3
Answer explanation
The d subshell contains 5 orbitals, which can hold a total of 10 electrons. Each orbital can hold 2 electrons, and the five d orbitals are designated as dxy, dyz, dzx, dx2-y2, and dz2.

For a p sublevel, "l" equals
2
1
0
3
Answer explanation
In quantum mechanics, the azimuthal quantum number "l" defines the shape of the orbital. For a p sublevel, "l" equals 1, indicating a dumbbell shape. Therefore, the correct answer is 1.

For the quantum number, "l", equal to 2, is an "m" value of -1 permitted?
yes
no
Answer explanation
For quantum number l=2, the allowed m values range from -2 to +2. Since -1 falls within this range, an m value of -1 is permitted. Therefore, the correct answer is yes.

For a principle quantum number, "n", equal to 2, what is the total electron capacity of that level?
8
2
4
6
Answer explanation
The total electron capacity for a principal quantum number n is given by the formula 2n². For n=2, the capacity is 2(2)² = 8. Therefore, the correct answer is 8.

Find the invalid part in each set of quantum numbers.
n=1
ℓ=1
mℓ=0
ms=+1/2
Answer explanation
In quantum numbers, ℓ (azimuthal quantum number) must be less than n. Since n=1, ℓ can only be 0. Therefore, ℓ=1 is invalid.
