What are quantam numbers?

from Max Planck's theory, quantum numbers are units of energy.


What is a quantum shell?

The quantum shell or the principle shell (represented by an integer known as the principle quantum number, n) are orbits found in an atom. It is arranged as n=1, n=2, and so forth, n=1 being closest to the nucleus. As the numbers increase, so do the energy. Each quantum shell is an orbit, and in the orbits exist sub-orbitals. Please see sub-orbitals for more details.


What are some science words that begin with the letters q?

There are three scientific words that actually starts with Q. Quantum, Quantum Mechanics and Quark. Quantum is defined as portion, Quantum Mechanics is a branch of physics that studies about the behavior of atom and Quark is a set of six elementary particles that have electric charges.

Who is Schrodinger and Heisenberg?

Schrödinger and Heisenberg are known to be two of the important founders of quantum mechanics. They both invented a mathematical formalism for quantum mechanics. Schrodinger's formalism which was based on the wave equation was the most popular one. Heisenberg's formalism was based on the notion of quantum jumps (the innate "randomness" of sub-atomic physics the very reason that the famous "Schrodinger's cat" is not alive or dead...). Heisenberg's formalism was innovative but more difficult to handle. The difference on the formalism reflects their different views on the interpretation of quantum mechanics; Schrondinger was more a realist and he was sharing Einstein view that randomness is not desirable in the description of sub-atomic physics. Heisenberg on the other hand was more a supporter of the Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics which interprets the sub-atomic randomness as an innate characteristic of the sub-atomic world and the very heart of quantum physics theory.

A figure indicating the relative sizes and energies of atomic orbitals?

Atomic orbitals are regions in space where electrons are likely to be found. The sizes of atomic orbitals increase as the principal quantum number (n) increases. The energy of atomic orbitals increases with increasing principal quantum number and decreasing distance from the nucleus. The shape of atomic orbitals is determined by the angular momentum quantum number (l).


What is the first quantum number of the 3p1 electron in aluminum?

The first quantum number is the principal quantum number, denoted by "n." In aluminum, the 3p1 electron would have a principal quantum number of n = 3, since it is in the third energy level orbiting the nucleus.

the answer is "no".


What is a principal quantam number?

The principal quantum number (n) defines the main energy level or shell of an electron in an atom. It determines the average distance of the electron from the nucleus, as well as the energy of the electron. The higher the principal quantum number, the higher the energy level and the greater the distance from the nucleus.
