What are quantum numbers ??? |
| Answer» An\xa0atom\xa0consists of a large number of orbitals which are distinguished from each other on the basis of their\xa0shape,\xa0size\xa0and orientation in space. The\xa0orbital\xa0characteristics are used to define the state of an electron completely and are expressed in terms of three numbers as stated, Principal quantum number, Azimuthal quantum number and Magnetic quantum number and Spin Quantum number.<br>In chemistry and quantum physics, quantum numbers describe values of conserved quantities in the dynamics of a quantum system. In the case of electrons, the quantum numbers can be defined as "the sets of numerical values which give acceptable solutions to the Schrödinger wave equation for the hydrogen atom". | |
