Explanation

• The azimuthal quantum number (l) determines the shape of an atomic orbital.

Additional information:

• The principal quantum number (n) determines the main energy level.
• It is related to the size of the orbital.
• The magnetic quantum number (m_l) determines the orientation of an orbital in space.
• The spin quantum number (m_s) describes the spin of an electron, which can be +1/2 or -1/2.

Explanation

Molar mass of Na = 23 g/mol

Formula: moles = mass / molar mass

For 35g:

= 35 / 23 = 1.52 moles

Explanation

Molar mass of ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH) = 46g/mol

46g = 1 mole

Molar mass of glucose (C6H12O6) = 180g/mol

180g = 1 mole

Both are 1 mole, so both contain Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23) of molecules.

Explanation

For 12g of NH3:

Molar mass of NH3 = 17g/mol

Moles = 12 / 17 = 0.705 mol

1 molecule NH3 has 3 N-H covalent bonds.

Total moles of bonds = 0.705 x 3 = 2.117 mol

Number of bonds = 2.117 x 6.022 x 10^23

= 1.27 x 10^24 ≈ 1.2 x 10^24

So the answer is 1.2 x 10^24

Explanation

• The Pauli Exclusion Principle states that an orbital can contain a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins.
• No two electrons in the same atom can have identical values for all four quantum numbers.
• The two electrons in one orbital are represented by opposite spin arrows: ↑↓.

Explanation

• The Stark effect is the splitting or shifting of spectral lines of atoms or molecules due to an external electric field.
• The Stark effect is named after German physicist Johannes Stark, who discovered it in 1913.

Additional information:

• The Zeeman effect is the splitting of spectral lines due to an external magnetic field.
• The Photoelectric effect occurs when light ejects electrons from a material.

Explanation

• Methane (CH₄) has four C–H bonds arranged symmetrically in a tetrahedral shape.
• Each C–H bond has a small bond dipole, but the four bond dipoles cancel one another because of the molecule’s symmetrical geometry.
• Therefore, methane has a zero net dipole moment.
