6.4 Quantum Numbers and Atomic Orbitals | General Chemistry

Chad provides a comprehensive lesson on the Atomic Orbitals and Quantum Numbers. He describes the characteristics and shapes of the s, p, d, and f orbitals and then explains how the four quantum numbers (n, l, ml, ms) describe an electron's occupation of a specific orbital, in a specific subshell, in a specific electronic shell in an atom. The set of four quantum numbers effectively gives an electron's address in an atom. The characteristics of the principle quantum number (n), azimuthal quantum number (l), magnetic quantum number (ml), and spin quantum number (ms) are discussed at length.
I've embedded this playlist as a course on my website with all the lessons organized by chapter in a collapsible menu and much of the content from the study guide included on the page. Check this lesson out at www.chadsprep.com/chads-gener...

    hi chad, you said that ml determines the position of the orbital on the xyz axis but how do we correlate the ml number to the xyz axis?

    Hey chad, do you think you'll cover Schrodingers equation or any parts of pchem?

    Hi Chad, @ time 24:01, shouldn't L be l=2 because the range for l is 0...n-1, so since our n is equal to 3, our L value should be 3-1=2? Therefore L= 2; d subshell?

    Hi Salome! The key here is that a range of values are possible from 0...n-1. This means that zero is the minimum value and that n-1 is the maximum value. And any integers in between are possible also. So for n=3, the possible values of l are 0, 1, and 2. Functionally this means that s, p, and d orbitals exist in the 3rd shell (but not f orbitals). The electron you're referencing was in a 3p orbital, not a 3d orbital. That is why l=1 rather than l=2, and had the electron been in the 3s orbital then l would have equaled 1. So just keep in mind that l doesn't only equal n-1, but integers from zero to n-1 are possible and which one indicates the subshell (s, p, d, or f). Hope this helps!

    Sir can we consider a shell as a group of houses. And we call these houses as subshells . Subshells have rooms Called orbitals ?? Is it right to make understand?

    The quantum numbers refer to the specific orbitals rather than the atom or ion, so it would be exactly the same process

    Chad, sir, I know you dont mean to be funny when you're teaching but when you did that spinning motion with your finger during the quantum numbers section, i laughed my butt off😂. Anyway, once again, good lesson. This stuff is dense and difficult but i think i got a grasp on it. You seem like you have a lot of patience as a teacher. And you radiate such friendly kindness. I am from Boston, and we are all grumpy Robert frosts. Westerners are so nice. Anyway, thanks for your lessons 🤗
