Question

A hydrogen atom in a particular orbital angular momentum state is found to have j quantum numbers 7/2 and 9/2 .

Question 1: What is the letter that labels the value of l for the state?
s, p, d, f, g?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

j = l + s , l is angular momentum quantum no and s is spin quantum number.

s = 1/2

j = l + 1/2

For j = 7/2

l = 3

l = 3 denotes f state

For j = 9/2

l = 4

l = 4 denotes g state.
