Write a note on ‘Principal Quantum number.
Advertisements
उत्तर
Principal quantum number (n):
- Principal quantum number indicates the principal shell or main energy level to which the electron belongs.
- It is denoted by ‘n’ and is a positive integer with values 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ….
- A set of atomic orbitals with a given value of ‘n’ constitutes a single shell. These shells are also represented by the letters K, L, M, N, etc.
- With an increase of ‘n’, the number of allowed orbitals in that shell increases and is given by n2.
- The allowed orbitals in the first four shells are given below:
Principal quantum number (n) Shell symbol Allowed number of orbitals (n2) Size of shell 1 K 1 ↓ increases 2 L 4 3 M 9 4 N 16 - As the value of ‘n’ increases, the distance of the shell from the nucleus increases, and the size of the shell increases. Its energy also goes on increasing.
