  2. Quantum number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_number

    A quantum number beginning in n = 3,ℓ = 0, describes an electron in the s orbital of the third electron shell of an atom. In chemistry, this quantum number is very important, since it specifies the shape of an atomic orbital and strongly influences chemical bonds and bond angles. The azimuthal quantum number can also denote the number of ...

  3. Reduced mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_mass

    In the computation, one mass can be replaced with the reduced mass, if this is compensated by replacing the other mass with the sum of both masses. The reduced mass is frequently denoted by μ {\displaystyle \mu } ( mu ), although the standard gravitational parameter is also denoted by μ {\displaystyle \mu } (as are a number of other physical ...

  4. Principal quantum number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_quantum_number

    The principal quantum number is one of four quantum numbers assigned to each electron in an atom to describe the quantum state of the electron. The other quantum numbers for bound electrons are the total angular momentum of the orbit ℓ, the angular momentum in the z direction ℓ z, and the spin of the electron s.

  5. Spin quantum number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_quantum_number

    During the period between 1916 and 1925, much progress was being made concerning the arrangement of electrons in the periodic table.In order to explain the Zeeman effect in the Bohr atom, Sommerfeld proposed that electrons would be based on three 'quantum numbers', n, k, and m, that described the size of the orbit, the shape of the orbit, and the direction in which the orbit was pointing. [10]

    j = total angular momentum quantum number; m j = total angular momentum magnetic quantum number; Spin: ... e = electron charge; m e = electron rest mass;

  7. Azimuthal quantum number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azimuthal_quantum_number

    The term "azimuthal quantum number" was introduced by Arnold Sommerfeld in 1915 [1]: II:132 as part of an ad hoc description of the energy structure of atomic spectra. . Only later with the quantum model of the atom was it understood that this number, ℓ, arises from quantization of orbital angular moment

  8. Rydberg constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rydberg_constant

    The CODATA value is = = 10 973 731.568 157 (12) m −1, [2] where is the rest mass of the electron (i.e. the electron mass),; is the elementary charge,; is the permittivity of free space,

  9. Quantization of the electromagnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantization_of_the...

    The photon can be assigned a triplet spin with spin quantum number S = 1. This is similar to, say, the nuclear spin of the 14 N isotope , but with the important difference that the state with M S = 0 is zero, only the states with M S = ±1 are non-zero.
