Characteristics of an Atomic Orbital PartA What is the azimuthal quantum number

Question

Characteristics of an Atomic Orbital PartA What is the azimuthal quantum number (also called the angular-momentum quantum number),( for the orbital shown here? Wave functions provide information about an electron's probable location in space. This can be represented by an electron-density distribution diagram, called an orbital. An orbital is characterized by a size, shape, and orientation in space. Express your answer numerically as an integer. View Available Hint(s) Submit Part B This question will be shown after you complete previous question(s) Part C Compare the orbital shown in Parts A and B to the orbital shown hore in size, shape, and orientation

Explanation / Answer

Part A

The Orbital shown is dxz , so the Orital quantum number(l) = 2.

Part B

Not Shown

Part C

The Orbital shown is dx2-y2, so from part A it has different ml value. n and l values are same.

so, answer is ml only

Part D

In n=5 and n=3, the contour of dx2-y2 of n=5 will extend further in x and y direction. The value of l and ml will be same.Nodes in radial probability function will change by 2 because radial node is given by n-l-1.

A,C,E - True

B,D - False.
