How many electrons can possess this set of quantum numbers: principal quantum number n = 4, magnetic quantum number mℓ = −1?

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

6 electrons

Explanation:

To solve this question lets determine the possible quantum numbers for the principal quantum number n = 4.

For the quantum number l which describes the shape of the orbital, we have the possible values : 0 to n-1.

Thus, for n = 4 the l can assume the values 0, 1, 2, 3 ( 4 possible shapes )

For the angular quantum number, ml, which tell us the orientation in space,we have the values - l to + l.

So lets determine the number of orbials which can have the values -l for n=4

l = 0 ml = 0

l= 1 ml = -1,0,1

l= 2 ml = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2

l= 3 ml = -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3

So we have three orbital with ml = - 1 and from Pauli´s exclusion principle we can have up two electrons in each orbital. Thus for n= 4 we can have up to 6 electrons with ml = -1

What must the charge (sign and magnitude) of a 1.45-g particle be for it to remain stationary when placed in a downward-directed

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

charge will be equal to $2.03\times 10^{-5}C$

Explanation:

We have given mass of the particle m = 1.45 gram = 0.00145 kg

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

Electric field E = 700 N/C

Electric force will be equal to $F=qE$ , here q is charge and E is electric field

For particle to be stationary this force must be equal to force due to gravity , that is mg force

So qE = mg

$q=\frac{mg}{E}=\frac{0.00145\times 9.8}{700}=2.03\times 10^{-5}C$

So charge will be equal to $2.03\times 10^{-5}C$

Which terrestrial planet exhibits retrograde rotation?.

Sati [7]

Answer:

Planets that are farther from the sun than the earth (all but Mercury and Venus) will exhibit retrograde motion.

If the position of the planet is observed relative to the background stars, the planet will appear to move backward relative to the stars when the earth is moving in an Eastward direction faster than the planet, and the planet appears to move backwards relative to the stars

(The planet will be on the side of the earth that is opposite that of the sun)
