How to find the orbital a given wavefunction represents?

The general form of the radial wave function for hydrogen like atom is, $$ R(r) = - \sqrt{ \Bigl(\frac{2Z}{na_o}\Bigr)^3 \frac{(n-l-1)!}{2n(n+l)!}}e^{-\frac{Zr}{na_o}} \Bigl(\frac{2Zr}{na_o}\Bigr)^l L …

What kind of electronic configurations are possible?

This misconception arrises because most of the textbooks and websites starts pairing electrons from left to right in a series. But in general we can pair an electron in any of the degenerate orbitals …

Finding excited stage of electron from its potential energy

The potential energy ($U$) of an electron in nth orbit of hydrogen atom is given below : $$ U = \frac{-27.2}{n^2} \space (in \space eV)$$ $$ So, \space -6.8 = \frac{-27.2}{n^2} $$ $$ \implies n=2 …

How do we write spin multiplicity for Mn(2+), Mn(7+)?

Spin multiplicity = $2S+1$, where $S$ is the total spin angular momentum. Now $S = \frac{n}{2}$ where $n$ represents total number of unpaired electrons. So now we can write spin multiplicity = $n+1$. …
