Question Answer
Quantum Numbers a set of four numbers used to describe the position/ energy of an electron in an atom
Principle Quantum Number (n) denotes the mainshell location of an electron
The number of mainshells in an atom is the same as the number of the period in which the element is located on the periodic table
The maximum number of mainshells for the known elements 7- the same as the number of periods on the periodic table
The formula used to calculate the possible number of electrons in a given mainshell 2n^2
The maximum number of valence electrons 8 (octet)
When using letter designation for mainshells start with K and continue through the alphabet
Angular Momentum Quantum Number (l) indicates the sublevel in which the electron is located
Sublevel numbers have integral values from 0 to n-1
The number of sublevels possible in a mainshell is equal to the mainshell number
The greatest number of sublevels in any mainshell is 4 (s, p, d, and f) the letters come from mathematical terms
Sublevels correspond to blocks on the periodic table
Sublevel numbers with sublevel letter designations 0 s 1 p 2 d 3 f
Sublevel letter designation with their maximum number of electrons s 2 p 6 d 10 f 14
The number of electrons in a sublevel corresponds to the number of vertical columns in the respective block on the periodic table
Magnetic Quantum Number (ml) indicates the orbital in which the electron is located
Orbital region of space defined by a wave function that can hold two electrons
The magnetic quantum number integral values (-l...0...l)
The number of orbitals in a sublevel is half the number of electrons in the sublevel because each orbital can hold 2 electrons
Shape of the p orbital Dumbbell
Shape of the s orbital Sphere
Spin Quantum Number (s) indicates the direction of spin of the electron
Electrons spin in an orbital because they have a like charge and are in a small space, so they would spin due to repulsion
The possible values for the spin +1/2 and -1/2
