It is tempting to think that all possible transitions are permissible, and that an atomic spectrum arises from the transition of the electron from any initial orbital to any other orbital. However, this is not so, because a photon has an intrinsic spin angular momentum of sqrt2 (h)/(2pi) corresponding to S = 1 although it has no charge and no rest mass. On the other hand, an electron has got two types of angular momentum : Orbital angular momentum, L=sqrt(l(l+1))h/(2pi) and spin angular momentum, arising from orbital motion and spin motion of electron respectively. The change in angular momentum of the electron during any electronic transition must compensate for the angular momentum carries away by the photon. to satisfy this condition the difference between the azimuthal quantum numbers of the orbital within which transition takes place must differ by one. Thus, an electron in a d-orbital (1 = 2) cannot make a transition into an s = orbital (I = 0) because the photon cannot carry away enough angular momentum. An electron as is well known, possess four quantum numbers n, I, m and s. Out of these four I determines the magnitude of orbital angular momentum (mentioned above) while (2n m determines its z-components as m((h)/(2pi)) the permissible values of only integers right from -1 to + l. While those for I are also integers starting from 0 to (n − 1). The values of I denotes the sub shell. For I = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,..... the sub-shells are denoted by the symbols s, p, d, f, g, .... respectively The orbital angular momentum of an electron in p-orbital makes an angle of 45^@ from Z-axis. Hence Z-component of orbital angular momentum of election is :

The equation of Schroedinger for the hydrogen atom in the time-independet, non-relativistic form is a partial differential equation involving the position coordinates (x, y and z). The potential energy term for the proton-electron system is spherically symmetric of the form -1//4pi in_(0) xx (e^(2)//r) . THus it is advantages to change over from the cartesian coordinates (x,y and z) to the spherical polar coordinates, (r, theta and phi ). In this form the equation become separable in the radial part involving r and the angular part involving theta and phi . The probability of locating the electron within a volume element d tau = 4pi r^(2)dr is then given |Psi|^(2)(4pir^(2)dr) , where Psi is a function of r, theta and phi . With proper conditions imposed on Psi , the treatment yields certain functions, Psi , known as atomic orbitals which are solutions of the equations. Each function Psi correspods to quantum number n, l and m, the principal, the azimuthal and the magnetic quantum number respectively, n has values 1, 2, 3,...., l has values 0, 1, 2, ....(n-1) for each value of n and m (n-1) for each value of n and m (m_(l)) has values =1, +(l+1),...1,0,-1,-2...-l i.e., (2l+1) values for each value of l. In addition a further quantum number called pin had to be introduced with values +-1//2 . Any set of four values for n, l , m and s characterizes a spin orbital. Pauli.s exclusion principle states that a given spin orbital can accomodate not more than electron. Further the values l = 0, l=1, l=2, l=3 are designated s,p,d and f orbitals respectively. It is a basic fact that any two electrons are indistinguishable. 3 electrons are to be accomodated in the spin orbitals included under the designated 2p, conforming to the Pauli principle. Calculate the number of ways in which this may be done.
