Q1
Which quantum number describes the shape of an atomic orbital?
  1. Principal quantum number (n)
  2. Azimuthal quantum number (l)
  3. Magnetic quantum number (m_l)
  4. Spin quantum number (m_s)

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which quantum number describes the shape of an atomic orbital?
  • Step 1: Understand that atomic orbitals are regions where electrons are likely to be found around an atom.
  • Step 2: Learn that quantum numbers are used to describe the properties of these orbitals.
  • Step 3: Identify the different types of quantum numbers: principal (n), azimuthal (l), magnetic (m), and spin (s).
  • Step 4: Focus on the azimuthal quantum number (l), which specifically describes the shape of the orbital.
  • Step 5: Remember that the values of l range from 0 to n-1, where n is the principal quantum number.
