Azimuthal quantum number
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.
The principle quantum number of a hydrogen electron in its ground state is 1.
the quantum number n determines the energy of an electron in a hyrdogen atom.
In the electron configuration of aluminum, the 3p1 electron corresponds to the 3rd energy level (n=3) and is in the p subshell. The second quantum number, also known as the azimuthal quantum number (l), for a p subshell is 1. Therefore, the second quantum number of the 3p1 electron in aluminum is l = 1.
magnetic quantum number
Distance depends on the principal quantum number n.
n=1
ml=0
Which sublevel the electron is in.
The spin quantum number of an electron describes the intrinsic angular momentum of the electron, which is a fundamental property of particles like electrons that is not related to their orbital motion. It is quantized in units of ħ/2, where ħ is the reduced Planck constant, and can have values of either +1/2 or -1/2.
The magnetic quantum number indicates the orientation of an electron's magnetic moment in a magnetic field. It helps determine the direction in which the electron will align itself within the field.
The second quantum number (l) describes the shape of an electron's orbital within an atom. It is related to the angular momentum of the electron and determines the subshell in which the electron is located (such as s, p, d, or f orbitals). It ranges from 0 to (n-1), where n is the principal quantum number.
ml = -1
The first quantum number of a 2s electron in phosphorus is the principal quantum number, which specifies the energy level of the electron shell. For a 2s electron, the principal quantum number is 2.
Which orbital is being occupied ^^^^ WRONG UPDATE 1/12/16: APEX ANSWER IS The energy level of the electron.
n = 2
