The four quantum numbers for a single hydrogen electron in its ground state.
Answer to Problem 8SP
Solution:
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The values of the principle quantum numbers corresponding to the shells are,
The values of the orbital quantum numbers corresponding to subshells are,
The range of the orbital quantum numbers goes from
The range of the magnetic quantum numbers
The range of the spin quantum number
Explanation:
Understand that the ground state configuration of a hydrogen atom is
Only one electron will be present in the shell of the hydrogen as the atomic number ofhydrogen is
Recall the values of the principle quantum numbers corresponding to the shells.
Observe from the ground state configuration of a hydrogen atomthat the electron is present in the
Observe from the ground state configuration of a hydrogen atom that the electron is present in the
Recall the values of the orbital quantum numbers corresponding to subshells are,
Observe that for the
Write the magnetic quantum number corresponding to
Understand that the value of the orbital quantum number is
Write the value of spin quantum number.
Understand that only one electron is present in the ground state of the hydrogen atom. So, it will be either spin up
Conclusion:
Hence, the four quantum numbers corresponding to the electrons present in the ground state of the hydrogen atom are
