Q
Q: Which quantum number describes the shape of an atomic orbital?
Solution:
The azimuthal quantum number (l) determines the shape of the orbital, with values ranging from 0 to n-1.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
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.
