All quantum numbers are obtained from the Schrodinger equation except:
Correct answer: C. Spin quantum number (s)
- A. Principal quantum number (n)
- B. Magnetic quantum number (m)
- C. Spin quantum number (s)
- D. Azimuthal quantum number (l)
Explanation
Spin quantum number describes the intrinsic angular momentum of an electron or the spin of an electron, and it is not a direct consequence of the Schrodinger equation.Schrodinger equation provides an accurate description of the behavior of particles in terms of their positions and momenta. Spin is an additional quantum property that doesn't affect the position and momentum of particles in a way that would require its inclusion in the equation.

About Atomic Structure
Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
