Azimuthal Quantum Numbers (ℓ)

Azimuthal Quantum Numbers (ℓ)

The azimuthal quantum number is a quantum number for an atomic orbital that determines its orbital angular momentum and describes the shape of the orbital.

Every azimuthal number has his own capacity of electrons

  • S(v=0) ==> 1 orb ==> 2 electrons
  • ...

Spin Quantum Numbers (ms)

Spin Quantum Numbers (ms)

describe the angular momentum of an electron. An electron spins around an axis and has both angular momentum and orbital angular momentum. Because angular momentum is a vector, the Spin Quantum Number (s) has both a magnitude (½) and direction (+ or -)

(+½) ===> in the dire...

Magnetic quantum Numbers (mℓ)

Magnetic quantum Numbers (mℓ)

Specifie the orientation in space of an orbital of a given energy (n) and shape (l). This number divides the subshell into individual orbitals which hold the electrons; there are 2l+1 orbitals in each subshell.

Every orbital capacity is 2 electrons
