Concept explainers
Interpretation:
A chart of allowable orbitals in the first four principle energy levels of a hydrogen atom is to be represented and the number of orbitals of each type is to be indicated.
Concept introduction:
Principle quantum number (n), angular quantum number (l), magnetic spin quantum number
Principle quantum number designates the orbital size.

- • identify an orbital (as 1s, 3p, etc.) from its quantum numbers, or vice versa.arrow_forwardSketch a picture of the 90% boundary surface of an s orbital and the px orbital. Be sure the latter drawing shows why the p orbital is labeled px and not py, for example.arrow_forward• list the number of orbitals of each type (1s, 3p, etc) in an atom.arrow_forward
- Construct an energy level diagram showing all orbitals for the hydrogen atom up to n=5, labeling each orbital with its appropriate quantum numbers. How many different orbitals are in each shell?arrow_forwardIn defining the sizes of orbitals, why must we use an arbitrary value, such as 90% of the probability of finding an electron in that region?arrow_forwardWhat is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy a f subshell (l = 3)?arrow_forward
- Write a complete set of quantum numbers (n, , m) that quantum theory allows for each of the following orbitals: (a) 2p, (b) 3d, and (c) 4f.arrow_forwardUse the mathematical expression for the 2pz wave function of a one-electron atom (see Table 5.2) to show that the probability of finding an electron in that orbital anywhere in the x-y plane is 0. What are the nodal planes for a dxz orbital and for a dx2y2 orbital?arrow_forward
