eva Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 For p1d1: p -> m(l)=-1,0,1 and m(s)=+1/2,-1/2 d-> m(l)=-2,-1,0,1,2 and m(s)=+1/2,-1/2 When I did the table, I got 60 microstates. I was wondering if it was correct because I don't know how to enter it in the n(microstate) equation. I don't know if i=8 and j=2 or i=5 and j=2 and neither of them give me 60 anyway. Could you please explain what I'm doing wrong there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physicsfan Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 n=1: l=0(s subshell) m=0.(1 orbital) n=2: l=0: m=0 l=1:(p subshell) m=1,0,-1(3 orbital) n=3 l=0 m=0 l=1: m=1,0,-1(3 orbital) l=2:(d subshell) m=2,1,0,-1,-2(5 orbitals) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eva Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 Yeah thanks but that didnt really help, you just told something I knew already. I worked it out anyway. 60 was the correct number. Thanks anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chembio Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 You better check in Advanced Inorganic Chemistry by Cotton and Wilkinson to find a better answer for it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
