Which of the following is a correct set of quantum numbers f
Which of the following is a correct set of quantum numbers for an electron in a 3d orbital? n = 3. l = 0, m_i = -1 n = 3, l = 1, m_i = +3 n = 3, l = 2, m_i = 3 n = 3, l = 3, m_i = +2 n = 3, l = 2, m_i = -2
Solution
The subshell with n=2 and l=1 is the 2p subshell; if n=3 and l=0, it is the 3s subshell, and so on. The value of l also has a slight effect on the energy of the subshell; the energy of the subshell increases with l (s < p < d < f).
the quantum numbers for an elecrron in 5f orbital is
n=5, l=3, m= -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3, s=1/2
so the correct option is A
n=5, l=3, m=1
| l | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | ... |
| Letter | s | p | d | f | g | h | ... |
