Question

Write the four quantum numbers which describe the location of the highest energy electron of Ni #28.

Answer 1

Principal = 3 (because the electron is in energy level 3)

Angular = 2 (because the electron is in a d sublevel)

Magnetic = 0 (because the electron is in the middle orbital of the 5 orbitals in the 3d sublevel)

Spin = -1/2 (because the electron is down spin()
