Question

Quantum numbers are

• A. Variable in the atomic model
• B. Solution to schrodinger equation
• C. Coordinates of Electron position in an atom
• D. State variables of electrons

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Solution to schrodinger equation

Schrondinger wave equation gives probability of finding $e^{-1}$ through the quantum numbers in a particular region.

$\frac{{\partial }^2\Psi }{\partial x^2}+\frac{{\partial }^2\Psi }{\partial y^2}+\frac{{\partial }^2\Psi }{\partial z^2}+\frac{8{\pi }^{2}m}{h^2}(E-V)\Psi =0$

n $\to$ Principle quantum number
I $\to$ Azimuthal quantum number
m $\to$ magnetic quantum number
n,I,m are solution of wave equation.
