Quantum numbers

Question1: What is value of Principal & Azimuthal Quantum Number of e’s of 3d subshell.

Ans.     n=3, l=2

Question2. What is the subshell of electron with quantum numbers-

n=4,     l=3,      m=0,    s=-1/2

Ans.     4f

Question3.Which set the quantum number is not possible?

n          l           m         s

(a)        3          2          -2         +1/2

(b)        4          0          0          -1/2

(c)        3          2          -3         +1/2

(d)       5          3          0          -1/2

Ans.     (c) is not possible because if l=2 then values of m= -2,-1,0,+1, +2

 

Question4 . Which set the quantum number is not possible?

  1. a) n=1,     l=1,     m=1,    s=+1/2
  2. b) n=1,     l=0       m=1,    s=+1/2
  3. c) n=1,     l=0,      m=0,    s=-1/2
  4. d) n=2,     l=0       m=0     s=+1/2

Ans.     (a)& (b) are not possible because, n=1, then l=0 to (n-1)

so if n=1, then l=0

if l=0, then m= -l to +l including zero, if  l=0, m ≠ 1

Question 5. What is the maximum No. of Electrons present in the subshell for n=3,l=1.

Ans.     if n=3, l=1, then subshell is 3p.

p- subshell accommodate        6 electrons

Question. 6. How many orbitals are possible for n=3 ?

Ans.     If n=3, l=0,1,2 means s,p,d

s- subshell= One s-orbital

p-subshell = Three p-orbital

d-subshell = Five d-orbital

Thus for  n = 3 , the possible no. of orbitals = 1+3+5 = 9

The possible no. of orbitals = 9

Question7. Write the possible values of l, m & s  for the Principal Q. No. n=1

Ans.     If n=1 then values of  l=0 to (n-1)

l=0

for l=0, m=0

for m=0, values of s=+1/2 & -1/2

n=1, l=0, m=0, s=+1/2 & -1/2

Question 8 . Write the values of  l & m for n=2

Ans.     If n=2, l=0 to (n-1)

Hence , l = 0,1

Values of m= -l to +l including zero.

for l=0, m=0

l=1, m=-1,0,+1

Question 9. Write the value of  m  for l=3

Ans.     Values of m= – l to +l including zero

m= -3, -2,-1, 0,+1, +2,+3

Question 10 . Write the values of  l & m for n= 3

Ans.     n=3, l=0,1,2

If l=0, m=0

l=1, m=-1,0,+1

l=2, m=-2,-1,0,+1,+2

Question 11. Write all the possible values of  l, m & s for n=3

Ans.             n =3 , l=0,1,2

  If l= 0 (s-subshell) , Value of m= 0  , value of s = ±1/2

  If l=1 (p-subshell)  , Value of m =  -1  ,0,+1 , value of s = ±1/2 for each value of m

  If l = 2(d-subshell) , Value of m =  -2 ,-1,0,+1,+2  , value of s= ±1/2 for each value of m
