Question 1

Which statement best describes the difference between the Bohr model and the quantum mechanical model of the atom?

Accepted Answer

The Bohr model describes electrons as particles in fixed orbits, while the quantum mechanical model describes electrons as existing in regions of probability called orbitals.

Question 2

$$n = 3$$, $$l = 2$$, $$m_l = 2$$

Question 4

How many different orbitals are possible for $$n = 4 in $$the quantum mechanical model?

Accepted Answer

16

Question 5

Which quantum number determines the shape of an orbital?

Accepted Answer

Angular momentum quantum number $$l$$

Question 6

For a $$p$$ orbital, what are the possible values of the angular momentum quantum number $$l$$?

Accepted Answer

$$l = 1$$

Question 7

If $$n = 2$$, what are all possible values for $$l$$ and $$m_l$$?

Accepted Answer

$$l = 0, 1$$; $$m_l = 0$$ for $$l = 0$$, $$m_l = -1, 0, 1$$ for $$l = 1$$

Question 8
