Quantum Numbers
Quantum Numbers
 specify
the properties of orbitals and
of electrons in orbitals
 the first three numbers describe:



main energy level (n)
Shape (l)
Orientation (ml)
 4th
describes spin of electron (ms)
1st Quantum Number (n)
 main
energy level occupied by electron
 values are all positive whole # integers
(1,2,3,…)
 As it increases, the electron:


has more energy
is farther from nucleus
 the
total number of orbitals in a level
is equal to n2

Quantum Number (l)
 the

3rd Quantum Number (ml)
 the
position of an orbital around the
nucleus (x, y, or z direction)
 has values from +l  -l
 each orbital holds maximum of 2
electrons
4th Quantum Number (ms)
 the
spin state of the electron
 only 2 possible directions
 only 2 possible values: +½ and -½
 paired electrons must
have opposite spins
-1/2
+1/2

Draw out the orbital notation for the
last sublevel filled in an atom
Circle the last electron inserted in
that sublevel
Find the four quantum numbers for
that electron
Example 1
What are the 4 quantum numbers for
the electron of highest energy in
nitrogen?
Example 2
What are the 4 quantum numbers for
the electron of highest energy in
sulfur?
Example 2
What are the 4 quantum numbers for
