Quantum number secondary

It is interesting to note that this is the first time that in the present framework the quantization is formed by two quantum numbers a number n to be termed the principal quantum number and a number , to be termed the secondary quantum number. This case is reminiscent of the two quantum numbers that characterize the hydrogen atom. 

The second quantum number describes an orbital s shape, and is a positive integer that ranges in value from 0 to (n - 1). Chemists use a variety of names for the second quantum number. For example, you may see it referred to as the angular momentum quantum number, the azimuthal quantum number, the secondary quantum number, or the orbital-shape quantum number. 

The positions of electrons around the nucleus are determined with the help of four quantum numbers. There is the principal quantum number (n), secondary quantum number (1), magnetic quantum number (m,) and spin quantum number (ms). Two electrons in an atom never have identical sets of the four quantum numbers. At least one of the four quantum numbers must be different. This is known as Pauli s principle. 

Since the energy levels have different shapes, secondary quantum numbers are used in order to represent the shape of the electron clouds and divisions of the energy levels. The secondary quantum number is also called the orbital quantum number and denoted by 1. The values of the secondary quantum number are the positive numbers from zero to n-1, depending on the principal quantum number. The secondary quantum numbers are also represented by letters such as s,p,d and f... starting from the least energetic. 

The number of the secondary quantum number in a given shell is equal to the value of the principal quantum number of that shell. The number of orbitals in a given subshell is calculated by the equation of 21 + 1. 

For n = 1, the secondary quantum number (1) takes only the value of 0 (zero). Thus the number of orbitals in this subshell is... 

For n = 2, the secondary quantum number, 1, has the values of 0 and 1. Since there are two possible secondary quantum numbers, there are two subshells as well. For 1=0 the corresponding subshell is s, and for 1 = 1, the subshell is p. Let us find the number of orbitals in these subshells. 

The secondary quantum number, l, is related to the shape of the electron cloud. The value of l tells whether the cloud is spherical, is like a dumbbell, or perhaps more complicated. 

The secondary quantum number provides a way to index energy differences between orbitals in the same shell of an atom. Like the principal quantum number, it assumes integral values, but it may be zero and is constrained to a maximum value one less than = 0, 1, 2,. . The secondary quantum number... 

The secondary quantum number also provides the key to the letter designations of orbitals. Table 6.1 provides the letter designation of the first five values of the quantum number.

Alagnetic quantum number ntf) (6.4) One of the three quantum numbers identifying an atomic orbital. Specifies the spatial orientation of an orbital. Allowed values of m( are related to the value of the secondary quantum number ( ). 

The next quantum number (1) is called the secondary quantum number, orbital, or azimuthal quantum number. For each principal quantum number there are values of... 

This counting is based on the assumption (which is satisfied for many spectra) that in the first instance the motion of the model is determined by the principal and secondary quantum numbers of the single electrons, that then in the next instance the interaction of the vectors 1 with each other and the St with each other and only then in the third instance the interaction of I and s can be added as a small perturbation. This pictorial model even leads (adiabatic hypothesis) to a correct counting of the terms if the interaction ratio no longer represents reality, but the model in this case no longer yields the correct position of the terms, and the quantum numbers no longer represent the mechanical quantities of the model (which is apparent from the invalidity of the Lande interval rule for multiplets and the g-formula). 

That we do not have the same rules as in the atom for the change of the secondary quantum number of the electrons, is proven by the presence of three band systems in BO and CO", of which the electron jump frequencies satisfy the equation ...
