Question
Imagine an alternate universe where the quantum numbers for the hydrogen-like atom follow different rules. In
this alternative universe, the m quantum number is only allowed to take zero or even numbers (ie. allowed
quantum numbers are 0, +2, +4... but NOT +1). All other rules regarding the quantum numbers of the
wavefunctions fo the hydrogen-like atom, including the maximum allowed values for quantum numbers I and m,
are unchanged. All rules regarding filling orbitals with electrons, such as the Pauli exclusion principle, are also
unchanged. In this alternate universe, what elements would you predict to be noble gasses?
In your work, clearly indicate a) how many distinct s, p and d orbitals there are in your alternate universe and b)
what is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy the s, p and d sub levels.
