CHEM 130 Chapter 2.6-2.7:
Document Summary
2. 6 quantum number: schrodinger equation for the hydrogen atom, nd many wave functions (orbitals) that satisfy it, each orbital is characterized by a series of numbers called quantum number; which describe various properties of the orbital. Integral value from 0 to n-1 for each value of n: magnetic quantum number: the quantum number relating to the orientation of an orbital in space relative to the other orbitals with the same quantum number. It can have integral values between and (- ) , including zero. There are three 2p orbitals, which have different orientations in space. 2-7 orbital shapes and energies: each orbital in the hydrogen atom has a unique probability distribution an orbital is by the surface that surrounds 90% of the total electron probability. It is dif cult to picture how the 1s, 2s, and 3s orbitals might overlap in space .
