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, -1/2Explanation / 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
