The given statement "The location of an electron in an atom can be described by unique quantum numbers." is true.
Quantum numbers, a series of specific numbers to describe the location of an electron of a particular atom. Quantum numbers define the features of the atomic orbitals and the electrons filled in those orbitals.
- An electron in an atom or ion has four quantum numbers to describe its state are principal quantum number, azimuthal quantum number, magnetic quantum number, and spin quantum number.
- The electrons filled in the associated atom in the order of increasing energy of orbitals.
1s 2s 2p 3s 3p < 4s <3d <4p < 5s < 4d <5p < 6s <45 < 5 < 6p...
-
Principal quantum number: explains the energy level of an electron. It is denoted by n.
- Azimuthal quantum number: explains the sub-shell of an electron. It is denoted by l.
- Magnetic quantum number: explains the energy levels of the sub-shell of an electron. It is denoted by -[tex]m_{l}[/tex].
- Spin quantum number: explains the spin of an electron. It is denoted by [tex]m_{s}[/tex].
Thus, the correct answer is - the statement is true.
