Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around identifying the quantum numbers associated with a 3d state of an electron in hydrogen, specifically focusing on the values of L, Lz, and θ.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are attempting to clarify the meanings of the quantum numbers related to the 3d state, questioning the implications of the notation "3" and "d". There is also a request for foundational understanding regarding the values of l and n for this state.

Discussion Status

Some participants have provided specific values for L and Lz, but there is a lack of consensus on the reasoning behind these values. The discussion includes prompts for deeper understanding and exploration of the definitions involved.

Contextual Notes

One participant notes a lack of resources or prior attempts at the problem, suggesting a need for foundational knowledge before proceeding with the quantum numbers.

Homework Statement



Find all possible values of L, Lz, and θ for an electron in a 3d state of hydrogen.


I confuse it long time..

explain me please..

Do you not have any resource to work from or a textbook? Usually you have to offer some attempt at the solution.
 
the answer is

L = [tex]\sqrt{6h}[/tex]

Lz = -2h, -h, h or 2h

but I don't know its solution.
 
Ask yourself, what do the 3 and d mean for a 3d state, what are the values of l and n for a 3d state of H?
