Answer to Question #270867 in General Chemistry for Quillie

Question

electron a: n=4, l=2, ml=-2, ms=+1/2

electron b: n=5, l=0, ml=0, ms=+1/2

electron c: n=4,l=2, ml=+1, ms=1/2

a.describe the electrons based on their quantum numbers

b. which electrons have the highest and lowest energies respectively. verify your answer.

Answer 1

Highest energy=electron c: n=4,l=2, ml=+1, ms=1/2

Lowest energy =electron b: n=5, l=0, ml=0, ms=+1/2
