Question 88

Which of the following statements is/are true about the quantum numbers $$n$$, $$l$$, $$m$$ and $$s$$?

Solution

The principal quantum number $$n$$ fixes the size and energy, the azimuthal quantum number $$l$$ the shape, the magnetic quantum number $$m$$ the orientation in space, and the spin quantum number $$s$$ the spin of the electron. Since $$m$$ describes orientation rather than structure, options a, b and d are correct.
