Question

define an atomic orbital in terms of quantum numbers.

Answer 1

It is an integer that defines the shape of the orbital, and takes on the values, l = 0, 1, 2, …, n – 1. This means that an orbital with n = 1 can have only one value of l, l = 0, whereas n = 2 permits l = 0 and l = 1, and so on. The principal quantum number defines the general size and energy of the orbital brainly pl

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

quantum number or orbital quantum number), this describes the subshell, and gives the magnitude of the orbital angular momentum through the relation L2 = ħ2 ℓ (ℓ + 1) In chemistry and spectroscopy, ℓ = 0 is called an s orbital, ℓ = 1 a p orbital, ℓ = 2 a d orbital, and ℓ = 3 an f orbital.
