What is the set of quantum number for 4d orbital?

n (principle quantum number) = 4 l (angular momentum quantum number) = 2 ml (magnetic quantum number) = -2, -1, 0, 1, or 2 ms (spin quantum number) = +1/2 or -1/2


What does a quantum number describe?

n is the first quantum number. It is the principle quantum number. It refers to what energy level it is and will be one greater than the number of nodes in the orbital. l is the second quantum number. It is the angular momentum quantum number and refers to the shape of the orbital. ml is the third quantum number. It is the magnetic quantum number and it refers to the orientation of the orbital. ms is the fourth quantum number. It is the spin quantum number and refers to the magnetic character of the orbital.


What are the possible values of the magnetic quantum number ml?

The magnetic quantum number ml depends on the orbital angular momentum (azimuthal) quantum number, l, which in turn depends on the principal quantum number, n. The orbital angular momentum (azimuthal) quantum number, l, runs from 0 to (n-1) where n is the principal quantum number. l= 0 is an s orbital, l= 1 is a p subshell, l= 2 is a d subshell, l=3 is an f subshell. The magnetic quantum number, ml, runs from -l to +l (sorry this font is rubbish the letter l looks like a 1) so for an f orbital the values are -3. -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3, so 7 f orbitals in total. ml "defines " the shape of the orbital and the number within the subshell.

What is the quantum number set of the ground-state electron that is found in helium but not in hydrogen?

The quantum number set of the ground-state electron in helium, but not in hydrogen, is (1s^2) or (n=1, l=0, ml=0, ms=0). It indicates that the electron occupies the 1s orbital, which has a principal quantum number (n) of 1, an orbital angular momentum quantum number (l) of 0, a magnetic quantum number (ml) of 0, and a spin quantum number (ms) of 0.

Is Magnetic quantum number ever larger than the principle quantum number?

No, for any given electron, the principle quantum number will be larger. For example, a second shell, p-subshell electron will have the quantum numbers {2, 1, ml, ms} where mlcan be -1, 0, or 1 and, as always, ms can be ½ or -½. The largest ml can be is +1, which is smaller than the principle quantum number, 2.

What quantum number represents the orientation of an electron orbital in space?

The quantum number that indicates the position of an orbital is the magnetic quantum number. The number of different sublevels within each energy level of an atom is equal to the value of the principle quantum number.

What would the fourth quantum number of a 1 S 2 electron be?

Either +1/2 or -1/2; the fourth quantum number is ALWAYS either +1/2 or -1/2 and it's not generally possible to say which (other than that two electrons in the same atom which have the same first three quantum numbers will always have different values for the fourth).
