Quantum Numbers Chapter 3.4 The Four Quantum Numbers • Quantum Numbers are numbers that describe the quantum mechanical properties of orbitals 1. 2. 3. 4. The Principal Quantum Number (n) The Secondary Quantum Number (l) The Magnetic Quantum Number (ml) The Spin Quantum Number (ms) The Principal Quantum Number (n) • Gives the main energy level or shell • Describes the size and energy of an atomic orbital • n can have any integer value greater than zero n = 1, 2, 3, 4, … The Secondary Quantum Number (l) • • • • l= 0 1 2 3 Gives the sublevel or subshell s p d f Describes the shape of the orbital: Sometimes called the ‘Angular Momentum Quantum Number’ l can have any integer values from 0 to n-1 e.g. n l 1 0 2 0,1 3 0,1,2 4 0,1,2,3 • The energy of the orbital depends on l only in a multi-electron case; for electrons with the same n, energy of l=1 < l=2 < l=3… • Albert Michaelson worked with high resolution spectra and discovered that the lines in the hydrogen atom’s spectrum were actually made up of multiple smaller lines Subshell Overlap The Magnetic Quantum Number (ml) • Gives the exact orbital • Describes the orientation of an atomic orbital in space (how it lines up on the xyz plane) • ml can have integer values from –l to +l including 0 • The Zeemen effect showed that if a gas discharge tube was placed near a strong magnet some single lines in the spectrum split into new lines that were not initially present l ml 0 0 1 -1, 0, +1 2 -2, -1, 0, +1, +2 3 -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3 So Far We Know This… The Spin Quantum Number (ms) • Gives the spin state of the electron • Describes the direction in which the electron is spinning (identifies the electron within an orbital) • Goudsmit and Uhlenbeck noticed that an atom has a magnetic moment when it is placed in an external magnetic field • ms can have only two possible values: +1/2 or -1/2 The Pauli Exclusion Principle • In a given atom, no two electrons can have the same set of four quantum numbers (n, l, ml, and ms) • An orbital (same n, l, and ml) can hold a maximum of two electrons and they must have opposite spins (different ms) In Summary A Useful Formula Applying the Four Quantum Numbers Energy HOMEWORK Required Reading: p. 153-159 (remember to supplement your notes!)
