How do quantum numbers relate to electrons? please explain?

Quantum numbers allow us to both simplify and dig deeper into electron configurations. Electron configurations allow us to identify energy level, subshell, and the number of electrons in those locations. If you choose to go a bit further, you can also add in x,y, or z subscripts to describe the exact orbital of those subshells (for example 2px). Simply put, electron configurations are more focused on location of electrons then anything else.

Quantum numbers allow us to dig deeper into the electron configurations by allowing us to focus on electrons' quantum nature. This includes such properties as principle energy (size) (n), magnitude of angular momentum (shape) (l), orientation in space (m), and the spinning nature of the electron. In terms of connecting quantum numbers back to electron configurations, n is related to the energy level, l is related to the subshell, m is related to the orbital, and s is due to Pauli Exclusion Principle.

a lump of putty and a rubber ball have equal mass. both are thrown with equal speed against a wall. the putty sticks to the wall

RUDIKE [14]

The bouncy ball experiences the greater momentum change.

To understand why, you need to remember that momentum is actually
a vector quantity ... it has a size AND it has a direction too.

The putty and the ball have the same mass, and you throw them
with the same speed. So, on the way from your hand to the wall,
they both have the same momentum.
Call it " M in the direction toward the wall ".

After they both hit the wall:

-- The putty has zero momentum.
Its momentum changed by an amount of M .

-- The ball has momentum of " M in the direction away from the wall ".
Its momentum changed by an amount of 2M .

ASAP please thank you ! Find O and P

Kaylis [27]

Explanation:

O + 6V = 9V, so O = 3V

P = 9V as it is parallel to the 9V power supply.

A player hits a ball with a bat. The action is the force of the bat against the ball.

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer: Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When a player hits a ball with a bat, the force the player exerted on the ball through the bat gave the ball a push force in the forward direction.
