Question

1. See section 6.6 in your textbook or our lecture notes for guidelines on quantum numbers. a. What are the possible values of n? (Be sure to start with the minimum value!) ,2,3,4 b. For a given value of n, what is the range for the possible values of ? 0,1,2. 3 c. For a given value of I, what the range for the possible values of mi? -3,-2,-1,0,1, 2, 3 d. What are the two possi ble values for ms? 2,-2 + 2. For n 8, identify the possi ble values for representations. and their corresponding alphabetic 3. When / = 5, what are the possible values of m,? Also, how many orbitals are available?

Answer 1

1. a. 1,2,3......to infinity

b. 0,1,2,3.....(n-1)

c. -l.....-3,-2,-1,0,+1,+2,+3.......+l

d.+1/2, -1/2

2. Values of l - 1,2,3,4,5,6,7

Alphabetical representation: s,p,d,f,g,h,i

3. -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3, +4, +5

Number of orbitals available = number of m values = 12
