QUANTUM NUMBERS

   Hey guys,my name is Chaithanya.Hoping that you are all fine.this blog is about the 'Quntum Numbers'.I hope you can learn about the quantum numbers by this blog.So,let's get started.

Quantum Numbers

                        Each electron in an atom is described by a set of three numbers n,l,m. These numbers indicate the probability of finding the electron in space around the nucleus.

                       These Quantum numbers describe the space around the nucleus where the electrons are found and also their energies.These are called Atomic Orbitals.

1.Principle Quantum Numbers:

  • It is related to Size and Energy of the main shell.
  • It is denoted by 'n'.
  • 'n' has positive integer values of 1,2,3.......
  • As 'n' increases , the shells become larger and the electrons in those shells are farther from the nucleus.
n=1,2,3..... are often repsetented by K,L,M,.....
       
       Shell                    K                    L                    M                    N
       
         n                        1                     2                     3                      4


 



2.Angular-Momentum Quantum Numbers: (l)

  •  The Angular-Momentum Quantum number 'l' has integer values from 0 to n-1.
  •   Each 'l' value represents one sub-shell.
  • Each value of 'l' is related to the shape of a particular sub-shell in space around the nucleus.
The value of 'l' for a particular sub-shell is generally designated by the letters s,p,d,....
        
                        'l'                             0                        1                        2                    3
   Name of the sub-shell                 s                          p                       d                    f









3.Magnetic Quantum Number:

  • It has the integer values between -l and l,including '0'.
  • For a certain value of 'l' ,there are (2l+1) integer values of m.
The number of 'm' values indicates the no.of orbitals in a sub-shell belonging to the same shell possess same energy. These are called degenerated orbitals.

        S orbital -   Spherical shape ;  p-orbial -Dumbell shape ;  D orbital: double dumbell shape .  



4.Spin Quantum Number(ms):

  • This quantum number refers to two possible orientations of the soin of an electron , one clockwise and the other anti-clockwise direction spin.
  • This is denoted by ms.
  • This is represented by +1/2 and -1/2.
  • If both are positive values, then the spins are parallel, otherwise the spins are anti-parallel.

INDUCTION MOTOR

    Induction Motor(AC motor) :                  An induction motor or asynchronous motor is an AC electric motor in which the electric current is the rotor needed to produce torque is obtained by electromagnetic induction from the magnetic field of the stator winding. Types of Induction motor :       The types of induction motors can be classified depending on whether they are a single phase (or) three phase induction motor. Single Phase Induction motors : Split Phase Induction motor Capacitor Start Induction motor Capacitor Start & Capacitor Run Induction motor Shaded Pole Induction motor Three Phase Induction motor : Squirrel Cage Induction motor Slip Ring Induction motor Single Phase Induction motor             The single phase induction machine is the most frequently used motor for refrigerators, washing machines, clocks, drills, compressors, pumps and so forth.              The Single-Phase induction motor stator has a laminated iron core with two windings arranged perpendicu

Principles of Metallurgy

    " Metallurgy is the process of extraction of metals from their ores".        Human history in terms of materials had the Bronze Age and Iron Age pertaining to the metals they started to use the bronze and iron. Now we have more than 75% metals among the elements available. Occurence of metals in nature          The earth crust is the major source of metals.Sea water also contains some soluble salts such as sodium chloride and megnesium chloride etc,.Some metals like gold(Au), silver(Ag), and copper(Cu) are avaible in nature in free state as they are least reactive.Other metals mostly found in nature in the combined form due to their more reactivity. The elements or compounds of the metals which occur in nature in earth crust are called Minerals. At some places, minerals contain a very high percentage of a particular metal and the metal can be profitably extracted from it.The minerals from which the metals are extracted from it. The minerals from which the metals are extra
