In an alternate universe, quantum numbers cause changes in the periodic table, with 3 subshells in the s orbital occupying 6 electrons, p orbitals accommodating 8 electrons, d orbitals holding 10 electrons, and f orbitals occupying 12 electrons. The resulting alterations influence the arrangement of the s, p, d, and f blocks in the table. Consequently, the second noble gas in this universe is calcium, which is the 20th element.

In an alternative universe- all rules governing quantum numbers and th.docx
- 1. In an alternative universe, all rules governing quantum numbers and the periodic table are exactly the same as our universe EXCEPT that m l = 0 --> l + 2 (due to font issues: zero to the letter L plus 2) Answer the following: What changes are made to the appearance of the periodic table (how have the s, p, d and f blocks changed and what does that do to the table)? What is the 2nd noble gas in the alternate universe? Solution Answer - M l = 0 to l+2 for n=1 ; l= n-1 = 0; M l =0 to l+2 = 0,1,2 Hence there is 3 subshell in s orbital which occupy 6 electron. in the same way; for n=2 l=2-1=1 M l = 0 to l+2 = 0,1,2,3 p-orbital occupy 8 electrons. n=3 l=2
- 2. M l = 0 to l+2 = 0.1.2.3.4 d have 10 electron. n=4 l=3 M l = 0 to l+2 = 0,1,2,3,4,5 f occupy 12 electron Second noble gas = 6(1s) +6(2s) +8(2p) =20th element is second noble gas = which is calcium, Ca
