Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following quantum numbers cannot be the same for two electrons in the same atom?
  • Step 1: Understand what quantum numbers are. Quantum numbers are values that describe the energy levels and positions of electrons in an atom.
  • Step 2: Learn about the four types of quantum numbers: principal (n), azimuthal (l), magnetic (m_l), and spin (m_s).
  • Step 3: Know that each electron in an atom has a unique set of these four quantum numbers.
  • Step 4: Familiarize yourself with the Pauli Exclusion Principle, which states that no two electrons can have the same set of all four quantum numbers.
  • Step 5: Conclude that if two electrons are in the same atom, at least one of their quantum numbers must be different.
