Three quantum number have been derived from equation of____________________?

Correct answer: C. Schrodinger

  • A. de-Broglie
  • B. Plancks
  • C. Schrodinger
  • D. Heisenberg

Explanation

Solving Schrödinger's wave equation for an electron gives the principal, azimuthal and magnetic quantum numbers, which describe its energy level, subshell and orbital orientation. The spin quantum number was added separately to describe electron spin. Students may choose a because de Broglie's wave idea is used in quantum mechanics, but the three quantum numbers are derived from Schrödinger's equation.

About Quantum Numbers

Quantum numbers describe an electron's energy level, subshell, orbital orientation and spin. You examine the principal, azimuthal, magnetic and spin quantum numbers, their allowed values, orbital capacity and how they determine electronic configurations and distinguish electrons within an atom.
