CHEM 1062 Lecture 23: chapter 23 lecture notes
Document Summary
Quantum numbers = orbitals are defined by 3 quantum numbers; electrons are defined by 4 quantum numbers. Value of l goes from 0 to n-1. L = 1, p highest intensity, principal. Gives you the direction of the orbital. Number of possible ml - number of possible orbitals in a shell. If l = 0, (1) ml = 0 = s orbital. If l = 1, (3) ml can = -1, 0, +1 = p orbital. If l = 2, (5) ml can = -2, -1, 0, +1, +2 = d orbital. If l = 3, (7) ml can = -3,-2,-1,0,+1,+2,+3 = f orbital. L = 0 means 1 ml meaning only 1 possible s per shell. L = 1 means 3 p orbitals per shell. L = 2 means 5 d orbitals per shell, dxy, dyz, dxz, dxz-yz. L = 3 means 7 f orbitals per shell.
