Question

Atomic Structure and Bonding_quiz Q12 Points The principal, angular momentum, magnetic and spin quantum numbers for an atomic system are designated as nn, ll, m_lm l ​ , and m_sm s ​ , respectively. Which of the following statements is true?

a. nn represents the shape of the electron cloud
b. m_lm l ​ represents the orientation of the electron spin an electron at n=1
c. n=1 classifies as a "free electron" ll represents the shape of an orbital

Answer 1

ll represents the shape of an orbital

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four quantum numbers which give information about various orbitals in an atom. They describe the probability of finding the electron in an atom.

The orbital or azimuthal quantum number is represented as l. This quantum number gives information about the shape of an orbital.
