Activity 3. Quantum Numbers

I. Directions: Do these on a sheet of paper. Make a box diagram and write down the quantum numbers of the
following:

Example:

 3p3

 n=3
 l=2
 ml=+1
 ms=+1/2
Start here:
1. 4s2
2. 3d7
3. 4p3
4. 5s1
5. 4d5
6. 4f11
7. 5d6
8. 4f9
9. 5d5
10. 6p6

II. Directions: Identify the following:

1. This quantum number specifies the main energy level.
2. It indicates the specific orbital within the sublevel where the electron is found. It can be values of –l t0 +l.
3. This quantum number specifies the sublevel within a particular principal energy level. It can have values 0 to n-1
4. It indicates the direction of spin of an electron.
5. These are the circles where electrons orbit.
6. It is within the energy levels (s, p, d, f).
7. It is within the sublevels. It is the final location of the electrons
8. How many electrons does the 3rd energy level can hold?
9. How many sublevels are the in 2nd energy level?
10. How many electrons does one orbital can hold?
