Answer to Question #279584 in General Chemistry for justin

Question

Suppose that the spin quantum number could only have allowed values of –1/2, 0, and +1/2 and assuming that the rules governing the values of the other quantum numbers and the order of filling sublevels were unchanged. What would be the electron configuration of the element with an atomic number of 17?

Answer 1

The orbitals of each type per energy level will have 3 electrons.

The electron configuration will be

$1S^3\>2S^3\>2P^9\>3S^2$
