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.

Briefly describe the roles of heat, pressure, and water in the origin of magma. ( in your own word)
andrezito [222]

The semifluid or hot fluid substance within or below the crust of the Earth from which lava and other igneous rock are produced by cooling is known as magma.  

The temperature and pressure elevate with depth, finally reaching to a level wherein the strongest rock is melted, transforming into magma. When the magma comes into contact with water, it instantly gets transformed into a rock, that is, the outside solidifies briskly, and the inside of it gets cold.
