Question

What electron could have quantum numbers n = 3,1 = 0, m₁ = 0, ms=-1?

OA. A 3s electron
OB. A 4p electron
OC. A 5s electron
OD. A 3d electron

Answer 1

Answer:OC

Explanation:Correct option is C) 3d has 3 as the principal quantum number.The d-subshell represents the l value =2, whereas subshell d, has −2,−1,0,+1,+2, as the m values for the orbitals.The s value can be +1/2 or −1/2. Therefore, the correct set of the four quantum numbers, n=3,l=2,m=−2,s=+1/2.Hence, option C is correct.
