  1. Quantum Numbers Created by: Tyler Jacob

  2. What is a Quantum #? • A Quantum number are four numbers that find the location of an electron (an address of an atom) • The book definition- Q# specify the properties of atomic orbital that is indicated by solving the Shrodinger equation

  3. The Quantum numbers • The four Quantum Numbers are • Principal Quantum # (n) • Angular Momentum Quantum # (l) • Magnetic Quantum # (m) • Spin Quantum # (s)

  4. Principal Quantum # • The number indicates the main energy level occupied by the electron. • In other words locates which shell an electron is in • Principal Quantum # are always positive integers.

  5. Angular momentum Quantum # • Indicates the shape of the orbital • Or which orbital the electron is in • AMQ# are 0,1,2,3 • An orbital is the path an electron takes (sublevel) • Each orbital holds 2 electron

  6. Magnetic Quantum # • Indicates the orientation of an orbital around the nucleus • Or which dimension of orbital an electron is located • MQ# is -l to +l (all whole numbers in between + 0) • Is if l is 0, m is 0 if l is 1, m is 3

  7. Spin Quantum # • The two fundamental spin states of an electron in an orbital • Or which spin (direction) an electron is going • S is ½ or -½
