All of the orbitals in a given electron shell have the same value of the __________ quantum number.
A)principal
B)angular momentum
C)magnetic
D)spin
E)psi

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The principal quantum number determines the energy level or shell of an electron. All of the orbitals within a particular electron shell have the same principal quantum number. The angular momentum quantum number, magnetic quantum number, and spin quantum number all vary between different orbitals within the same electron shell. Psi is not a quantum number, but rather a mathematical symbol used to represent wave functions in quantum mechanics.
