The principal quantum number, n , describes the energy level of a particular orbital as a function of the distance from the center of the nucleus. Additional quantum numbers exist to quantify the other characteristics of the electron. The angular momentum quantum number ( ???? ), the magnetic quantum number ( m ???? ), and the spin quantum number ( m s ) have strict rules which govern the possible values. Identify allowable combinations of quantum numbers for an electron.

Answer:

The possible combinations are shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

A given value of n,

Let's take ( N-1)

Then values that is from 0 to n-1, and recall ml takes -1..............0.............+1 values and ms takes +1/2 and -1/2 value only from these illustration, the possible combinations are;

1) n1 = 3s

2) l =2s

3) m1 = 0sms = +1/2

4) n = 5

5) l = 4

Finally ml = 0sms = -1/2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

for a given value of n, l takes ( N-1) values that is from 0 to n-1, and ml takes -1..............0.............+1 values and ms takes +1/2 and -1/2 value only thus the possible combinatons are

n1 = 3s

l =2s

m1 = 0sms = +1/2

n = 5

l = 4

ml = 0sms = -1/2
