Chapter 5, Problem 5.10P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The set of quantum numbers that are possible for an electron in an atom has to be chosen.

Concept Introduction:

Principal quantum number is the one that specifies the extent or the effective size of an orbital.  This is denoted by n.  Shape of the orbital is denoted by the azimuthal quantum number.  This is denoted by l and the values of azimuthal quantum number will be from zero to n1.  The subshell s,p,d, and f is denoted by the value of azimuthal quantum number as 0,1,2, and 3 respectively.

Magnetic quantum number has a value of +l to l.  This determines the spatial orientation of orbital and it is designated as ml.  Spin state of an electron is designated by the spin quantum number.  It is denoted by ms and it can have only two possible values.  They are +1/2or1/2.
