QUANTUM NUMBERS
There is a hierarchy in quantum numbers:
A few different l can exist for the same n and a
few different ml can exist for the same l
• n determines the energy of the orbital
• for hydrogen atom the energy of the orbital
does not depend on l and ml
• l determines shape of the orbital
• ml determines position of the orbital relative
to others with the same l

Azimuthal Quantum
Number
• l determines the shape of the orbital
• for given n, l can be any integer from 0 to (n-1)
• every l has its proper (letter) name:
orbital with l = 0 called
s-orbital
orbital with l = 1 called
p-orbital
orbital with l = 2 called
d-orbital
orbital with l = 3 called
f-orbital

Magnetic Quantum
Number
• ml determines position of the orbital relative
to others with the same l and how many
orbitals with the same l can exist.
• ml is an integer from - l to l, so for given l,
there are (2l +1) orbitals with different ml
l =0
l =1
l =2
l =3

Electrons in Atoms:

Each orbital can be occupied by no more than 2
electrons!
Because:
No two electrons in atom can have the same set
of all quantum numbers (Pauli’s Exclusion
Principle)
And:
Wolfgang Pauli
(1900-1958)
There is a 4th quantum number, the electron
spin quantum number, ms.

• Can be proven experimentally (Stern, Gerlach,
1926) that electron has a magnetic moment (acts
as a small magnet).
• It referred to as “spin.”
• Spin is quantized: it can be only along magnetic
field or against magnetic field.
• Two spin directions are given by
ms = +1/2 and -1/2.

• If two electrons in atom have the opposite
spins, the total spin is zero (spins are “paired”)
• Electron spin is responsible for magnetic
properties of the materials
• Materials containing unpaired spins are either
paramagnetic or ferromagnetic
• Materials containing only paired spins are
diamagnetic

Electron Spin and Magnetism
•Diamagnetic: NOT attracted to a magnetic
field (slightly repelled)
•Paramagnetic: substance is attracted to a
magnetic field.
•Ferromagnetic: substance is strongly
attracted to a magnetic field.
•Substances with unpaired electrons are
paramagnetic or ferromagnetic.

Measuring Paramagnetism
Paramagnetic: substance is attracted to a
magnetic field. Substance has unpaired electrons.
Diamagnetic: NOT attracted to a magnetic field

Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI)
Protons and neutrons are also small magnets,
means, they also have spin;
Proton is the nucleus of hydrogen, energy
transitions of its spin in strong magnetic field can
be measured by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
(NMR);
Concentration of the protons (i.e. water) in
different parts of the sample can be measured
by NMR - that is called Magnetic Resonance
Imaging (MRI)
It is powerful diagnostic tool, because living
organism mostly consists of water!

Arrangement of
Electrons in Atoms
Each orbital can be assigned no
more than 2 electrons!
This is tied to the existence of a

Pauli Exclusion Principle
No two electrons in the
same atom can have
the same set of 4
quantum numbers.
That is, each electron has a
unique address.

When n = 1, then l = 0
this shell has a single orbital (1s) to which
two e- can be assigned.

AND PERIODICITY
Length of period corresponds to shell capacity only for the 1st
two periods.
WHY?

Assigning Electrons to Atoms
• Electrons generally assigned to orbitals of
successively higher energy.
• For H atoms, E = - C(1/n2). E depends only
on n.
• For many-electron atoms, energy depends
on both n and l.
•
See Active Figure 7.1 and Figure 7.2

24
Assigning Electrons to Subshells
• In H atom all subshells
of same n have same
energy.
• In many-electron atom:
a) subshells increase in
energy as value of n + l
increases.
b) for subshells of same n
+ l, subshell with lower
n is lower in energy.

Why is this order?

Effective Nuclear Charge, Z*
• Z* is the nuclear charge experienced by
the outermost electrons. See Figure 7.3
• Explains why E(2s) < E(2p)
• Z* increases across a period owing to
incomplete shielding by inner electrons.
• Estimate Z* = [ Z - (no. inner electrons) ]
• Charge felt by 2s e- in Li
Z* = 3 - 2 = 1
• Be
Z* = 4 - 2 = 2
• B
Z* = 5 - 2 = 3
and so on!

HUND’S RULE. When placing
electrons in a set of orbitals having
the same energy, we place them
singly as long as possible
(maximal spin configuration has
the lowest energy).
