Note 35 — Chapter X · THE NEW QUANTUM THEORY

Reading edition

Each orbit or state of the atom requires three (or, for later refinements, four) quantum numbers to define it. The first two quantum numbers are correctly represented in the Bohr model; but the third number which discriminates the different lines forming a doublet or multiplet spectrum is represented wrongly—a much more serious failure than if it were not represented at all.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
