Chapter 1, Problem 1.49AP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The maximum number of electrons that can populate a given orbital is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Quantum numbers are a set of the numbers that provide information about an electron in an atom. There are four quantum numbers that are $n$, $l$, $m_l$ and $m_s$. The quantum numbers give acceptable solution for the Schrödinger wave equation. The quantum numbers are used to find the location of electron in an atom.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The electronic configuration of the element with atomic number $8$ in the periodic table is to be stated.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The atomic number of the second noble gas is to be stated.
