Question

Quantum Number Rules

Part A

What is the only possible value of m for an electron in an s orbital?

Express your answer numerically.

Part B

What are the possible values of m for an electron in a d orbital?

Express your answer numerically with sequential values separated by commas.

Part C

Which of the following set of quantum numbers (ordered n, , m, ms) are possible for an electron in an atom?

Check all that apply.

3, 1, -2, -1/2 5, 3, -3, 1/2 3, 2, 1, -1 -3, 2, 2, -1/2 2, 1, 0, 1/2 4, 2, 1, -1/2 3, 3, 1, -1/2 4, 3, 4, -1/2

Explanation / Answer

part A:

if electron in S orbita; then ml =0 is only possible value

part B:

if electron in d orbital

ml = -2 , -1 , 0 , +1 , +2

part C:

5, 3, -3, 1/2

2, 1, 0, 1/2

4, 2, 1, -1/2
