C. Johannesson C. Quantum Numbers UPPER LEVEL zFour Quantum Numbers: ySpecify the “address” of each electron in an atom The periodic table is actually a map (or seating chart) for electrons.
C. Quantum Numbers zElectron “address” LPHS N 4800 W Highland, UT yPeople use: State City Street House # yElectrons use: Energy level Sublevel Orbital Spin
C. Johannesson C. Quantum Numbers 1. Principal Quantum Number ( n ) yEnergy level ySize of the orbital yn 2 = # of orbitals in the energy level

C. Johannesson C. Quantum Numbers 3. Magnetic Quantum Number ( m l ) yOrientation of orbital Specifies the exact orbital within each sublevel
C. Johannesson C. Quantum Numbers 3. Magnetic Quantum Number ( m l ) Range: -l +l For the d-block, l = 2 m l = -2
C. Quantum Numbers Important factoids: m l is pronounced “em-sub-el” The orbital numbers (-1, 0, +1, etc.) are NOT permanently assigned to specific orientations, i.e., it doesn’t matter which picture you put “-2” on.
