Question
Quantum numbers arise naturally from the mathematics used to describe the possible states of an electron in an atom. The four
quantum numbers, the principal quantum number (n), the angular momentum quantum number (e), the magnetic quantum
number (m,), and the spin quantum number (m,) have strict rules which govern the possible values.
Identify all allowable combinations of quantum numbers for an electron.
n = 2, l = 1, mę = -1, mş = 1
n = 3, l = 1, mę = 1, mş =
-
Un = 2, l = 2, mẹ = 0, ms = -
n = 5, l = 3, mẹ = -3, ms = -
n = 4, l = 2, mẹ = 3, m, = +
