Question

Explain four types of Quantum numbers.(5 Mark)​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.Principal quantum number (n)

2.Azimuthal quantum number (ℓ)

3.Magnetic quantum number (mℓ)

4.Spin quantum number (s)

Explanation:

1.the principal quantum number is one of four quantum numbers assigned to each electron in an atom to describe that electron's state. Its values are natural numbers making it a discrete variable.

2The azimuthal quantum number is a quantum number for an atomic orbital that determines its orbital angular momentum and describes the shape of the orbital.

3.The magnetic quantum number is one of four quantum numbers in atomic physics. The set is: principal quantum number, azimuthal quantum number, magnetic quantum number, and spin quantum number.

4.the spin quantum number is a quantum number that parameterizes the intrinsic angular momentum of a given particle. The spin quantum number is the fourth of a set of quantum numbers, which completely describe the quantum state of an electron.

Answer 2

The four types of Quantum numbers are Principal quantum number,Azimuthual quantum number,Magnetic quantum number and Spin quantum number.

Explanation:

• Quantum number gives us information about the size,energy ,orientation and shape of a particular electron orbital.
• It also gives us information about the spin of an electron.
• There are four different types of quantum numbers used to decsribe an electron present in an orbital.
• They are Principal quantum number,Azimuthual quantum number,Magnetic quantum number and Spin quantum number.
• Principal quantum number gives us information about the size and energy of the orbital.
• Azimuthual quantum number tells us about the shape of the orbital.
• Magnetic quantum number gives us information about the orientatoon of the orbital where the electron resides.
• The direction of spin of electron can be understood from the spin quantum number.
