Chapter 7, Problem 7.52QE

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The values of $n$ and $l$ for $3d$ notation of subshell has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The acceptable wave function is characterized by a set of four quantum numbers. These quantum numbers are related to the shape, size of the electron wave and the location of the electron in space.

These quantum numbers are represented by $n$, $l$, $m_l$, and $m_s$. The quantum number $n$ is known as principal quantum number and it allowed values are all positive whole numbers. The quantum number $l$ is known as angular momentum quantum number and its allowed values are all positive integer from 0to $n-1$.

The notation of subshell is used to determine by a combination of both principal quantum number and angular quantum number. In notation, numerical values of $n$ is used while value of $l$ denotes the respective subshell. The table for the $l$ values is as follows:

$\begin{array}{cccccccc}l& 0& 1& 2& 3& 4& 5& 6\\ \text{Subshell}& s& p& d& f& g& h& i\end{array}$
