Question

The quantum number "m" of a free gaseous atom is associated with: (A) Effect volume of orbital (B) Shape of orbital (C) Spatial orientation of orbital (D) Energy of orbital in the absence of magnetic field

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Azimuthal quantum number determines shape of the orbital, magnetic quantum number, m is associated with spatial orientation of the orbital. Principal quantum number (n) determines energy of the electron size (volume) of the atom.

Q. The quantum number "m" of a free gaseous atom is associated with:

Effect volume of orbital

Shape of orbital

Spatial orientation of orbital

Energy of orbital in the absence of magnetic field

Azimuthal quantum number determines shape of the orbital, magnetic quantum number, m is associated with spatial orientation of the orbital. Principal quantum number (n) determines energy of the electron & size (volume) of the atom.
