Document Summary

Electron configuration and the periodic table prelecture notes. This is true only when there is one electron. Energy of atomic orbitals in a hydrogen atom (with one electron) Quantum mechanical calculations give three quantum numbers (n, l and ml). Because electrons spin along an axis, there is yet another quantum number: the electron spin quantum number, ms, needs to be introduced. Such spinning of electrical charge generates its own magnetic field. Electron-spin quantum number (ms) can have two possible values: Thus, it takes three quantum numbers to define an atomic orbital but we need four quantum numbers to identify an electron in an atom. 0,1,2,3, (n-1) orbital shape (s, p, d, f) +1/2, -1/2 direction of electron spin an atom. Although the electron density is highest around the nucleus, it does not mean it has the greatest probability of being found around the nucleus. Recall: electron density of the orbital (s orbitals as shown below):
