Why are electrons restricted to specific orbitals?

Chemistry
1 answer:
rodikova [14]3 years ago
7 0
The answer lies in the concept of quantum mechanics. Every single electron of an atom has its own unique set of quantum numbers. It is stated in the Pauli Exclusion principle that no two electrons would have the same quantum numbers. That is why each electron occupies a specific orbital. In addition to the Pauli Exclusion Principle, the other laws and principles that help set the quantum numbers are the Aufbau Principle and the Hund's rule.

How does snow sometimes appear blue?
satela [25.4K]

Answer: So, why is the snow and ice blue? Similar to water, snow absorbs red and yellow light, leaving blue light behind to give it that bluish appearance. If snow is only a few inches deep, none of the light will be left behind, making the snow appear white. The deeper the snow, the more blue light is left behind.
