Chapter 40: Q2Q (page 1246)

An electron in an atom of gold is in a state with n = 4. Which of these values of are possible for it:-3, 0, 2, 3, 4, 5?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The possible values of l with are 0, 2 and 3.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

The given quantum state of the electron, n = 4

02

Understanding the concept of the electronic configuration

The number of possible l states of an atomic orbital for a given quantum number n range from 0 to n-1 positive integer values. Here, l represents the azimuthally quantum state of an electronic configuration.

03

Calculation of all possible values of l

Using the concept, we can say that the number of possible states of l for n = 4 is from 0 to (n - 1) integer values. They are 0, 1, 2, and 3.

Hence, the possible values according to the question are 0, 2, and 3.
