Consider all possible sets of quantum numbers for an atomic
Consider all possible sets of quantum numbers for an atomic electron in the 3p sub shell. Construct a table showing these sets of quantum numbers (include the spin quantum number).
Solution
for the 3p sub shell
orinciple quantum number n=3
orbital qunatum number l = 1, as p designates l =1
spin qunatum number ml = 0, +/-1
all the allowed set of quntum numbers is
| N (principle) | l (orbital) | ml (spin) |
| 3 | 1 | -1 |
| 3 | 1 | 0 |
| 3 | 1 | +1 |
