(iii) 4f

Answer 1

Answer:

(i) 2p

Principal quantum number (n) = 2;

Azimuthal quantum number (l) = 1;

Magnetic quantum number (m) = -1; 0; +1;

Spin quantum number (s) = -1/2; +1/2.

(ii) 3d

Principal quantum number (n) = 3;

Azimuthal quantum number (l) = 2;

Magnetic quantum number (m) = -2; -1; 0; +1; +2;

Spin quantum number (s) = -1/2; +1/2.

(iii) 4f

Principal quantum number (n) = 4;

Azimuthal quantum number (l) = 3;

Magnetic quantum number (m) = -3; -2; -1; 0; +1; +2; +3;

Spin quantum number (s) = -1/2; +1/2.
