what are quantum numbers
the quantum number l stands for ----------------- and indicates the ---shell
the angular momentum quantum number indicates the subshell
the symbol for the principal quantum number which also is called the shell number, is
what is n
the quantum number l ranges from this start value to this end value in increments of ---
l starts from 0
l goes up to (n-1)
l increases by 1 each time
l values are integers
the principal quantum number tells you about these properties of the shell:
the size of the shell and its distance from the nucleus
what are the letter values ( nicknames) for the subshells corresponding to the numerical values of 0,1,2,3 respectively
the letter values are s, p, d, f respectively
these are the the restrictions on the principal quantum number n values - its starting value, and increment value, as well as its maximum value:
n must start from 0 and increase by 1 each time, has integer values and has no upper limit
the value of l gives this information about the orbital:
the value of l tells us the SHAPE of the orbital
what are the shapes of the s orbitals, p orbitals, d orbitals
s orbitals are spherical, p orbitals are dumbell shaped, d orbitals are double dumbbell shaped (generally)
