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 https://www.chadsprep.com/chads-gener...
