Question

Which quantum number is not related with Schrodinger equation?

• A. Principal
• B. Azimuthal
• C. Magnetic
• D. Spin

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Spin

Schrodinger equation is written in the form of $\Psi$.
$\frac{d^2\Psi }{d{x}^2}+\frac{d^2\Psi }{d{y}^2}+\frac{d^2\Psi }{d{z}^2}+\frac{8{\pi }^{2}m}{h^2}\times (E-C)\times \Psi =0$
The solution of this equation provides a set of numbers, called quantum numbers, which describe energies of the electron in atoms, information about the shape and orientations of the most probable distribution of electrons around the nucleus. These quantum numbers are the principal, azimuthal and magnetic quantum numbers but spin quantum is not associated with Schrodinger equation. The spin quantum number is associated with spin of the electron in doublets of the orbital.
