Explain why the quantum number set (2, 2, -1, -½) is not possible for an electron in an atom.

Chemistry

Answer is: it is not possible, because orbital (azimunthal) quantum number cannot be 2.

The principal quantum number (n) is one of four quantum numbers which are assigned to each electron in an atom to describe that electron's state.

For principal quantum number n=2:

1) azimuthal quantum number (l) can be l = 0...n-1:

l = 0, 1.  

The azimuthal quantum number determines its orbital angular momentum and describes the shape of the orbital.  

2) magnetic quantum number (ml) can be ml = -l...+l.

ml = -1, 0, +1.

Magnetic quantum number specify orientation of electrons in magnetic field and number of electron states (orbitals) in subshells.

3) the spin quantum number (ms), is the spin of the electron.

ms = +1/2, -1/2.

What can be explained by the Arrhenius theory?
vekshin1
Arrhenius theory is a theory about acids and bases. It says that acids are those substances that produces hydrogen ions (H+) when in solution and bases are the substances that dissiociates and produces hydroxide ions (OH-). It was introduced by Svante Arrhenius.

PLEASE HELP ME ASAP What is the volume of 28.9 g of mercury if the density is 13.8 g/mL? *
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

2.09 mL

Explanation:

density = mass/volume

13.8 = 28.9/v

13.8v = 28.9

v = 2.09 mL
