What could be the fourth quantum number of a 1s^2 electron be?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Bumek [7]2 years ago
6 0

The forth quantum number is Spin quantum number and the value of Spin Quantum Number of 1s² will be +1/2. Therefore, the correct option is (B) option

<h3>What is Spin Quantum Number ?</h3>

It describes the orientation of the electron spin (rotation) in space.

In the given case of 1s² configuration,

since, the Quantum numbers are known as:

  • Principal quantum number (n) which cannot be zero.

       The allowed values of n are therefore 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on.

  • Angular quantum number (l) is able to be any integer between 0  

       and n-1.

       Therefore, for example, If n = 1, l will be 0,

                                                If n = 2, l can be either 0 or 1.

  • Magnetic quantum number (m) is able to be any integer between -l and +l.    

       Therefore, for example, If l = 3, m can be either -3 to +3.

  • Spin Quantum Number (ms): Ms = +½ or -½  accounts for the orientation of the spin axis of an electron as it is able to spin in only one of two directions.

Thus, since the fourth quantum number is Ms, spin, we infer that the answer is (B) option ie, Ms = +1/2 because it represents the positive spin on 1s².

Why do two oxygen atoms form a double covalent bond?
elena-s [515]

A lone oxygen atom has 6 electrons in its outer shell which is not very stable, whereas as full octet (8 outer shell electrons) is stable. In order to achieve this two oxygen atoms will share 4 electrons, each contributing 2 electrons. Since these electrons exist within the orbitals of both atoms, to oxygen atoms essentially achieve a full octet.

What is the difference between a molecular formula and a molecular model?
snow_tiger [21]
 <span>Molecular compounds, which are represented by molecules, are usually made of non-metals only (or of metalloids and non-metals). Ionic compounds, which are represented by formula units, are made of metals and non-metals. 

More detail if you're interested: Molecules and formula units are the representative particles for molecular and ionic compounds, respectively. By that I mean, one unit of a molecular compound is a molecule...a bundle of atoms covalently bonded that exists separately from all the other molecules. One unit of an ionic compound is a formula unit. A formula unit is a representation of the compound's formula. For example, the formula unit of NaCl is one Na^+1 ion and one Cl^-1 ion. The formula unit of AlCl3 is one Al^+3 ion and three Cl^-1 ions. Ionic compounds don't have separate bundles of atoms like molecular compounds do, so the formula unit is just the smallest number of ions that it takes to represent the formula. </span>

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

ozone. CFCs drift slowly upward to the stratosphere, where they are broken up by ultraviolet radiation, releasing chlorine atoms, which are able to destroy ozone molecules.

A layer of sediment goes through a series of steps on its way to becoming sedimentary rock. These steps are summarized below. Re
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Explanation:

The steps involved in formation of a sedimentary rock are placed in the correct order as follows.

Step 1: The sediment is deposited by wind, flowing water, or other natural processes.

Step 2: The sediment is gradually buried and compacted.

Step 3: Dissolved minerals completely cement the sediment together.

As a result, it leads to the formation of a sedimentary rock.
