What are quantum numbers ? |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) The electron in an atom can be characterized by a set of four quantum numbers,namely PRINCIPAL quantum number (n) , AZIMUTHALQUANTUM number (I),magnetic quantum number (m) and SPIN quantum number (s). (ii) When Schrodinger EQUATION is solved for a wave function`Psi` ,the solution contains the FIRST three quantu numbers n,l and m. (iii) The fourth quantum number arises due to the spinning of the electron about its own axis. |
