Answer:

  • n = 3
  • l  = 1
  • m_l = 1
  • m_s=+1/2

Explanation:

Argon atom has atomic number 18. Then, it has 18 protons and 18 electrons.

To determine the quantum numbers you must do the electron configuration.

Aufbau's principle is a mnemonic rule to remember the rank of the orbitals in increasing order of energy.

The rank of energy is:

1s < 2s < 2p < 3s < 3p < 4s < 3d < 4p < 5s < 4d < 5p < 6s < 4f < 5d < 6p < 7s < 5f < 6d < 7d

You must fill the orbitals in order until you have 18 electrons:

  • 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶   : 2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 6 = 18 electrons.

The last electron is in the 3p orbital.

The quantum numbers associated with the 3p orbitals are:

  • n = 3

  • l = 1 (orbitals s correspond to l = 0, orbitals p correspond to l  = 1, orbitals d, correspond to l  = 2 , and orbitals f correspond to  l = 3)

  • m_l can be -1, 0, or 1 (from - l  to + l )

  • the fourth quantum number, the spin can be +1/2 or -1/2

Thus, the six possibilities for the last six electrons are:

  • (3, 1, -1 +1/2)
  • (3, 1, -1, -1/2)
  • (3, 1, 0, +1/2)
  • (3, 1, 0, -1/2)
  • (3, 1, 1, +1/2)
  • (3, 1, 1, -1/2)

Hence, the correct choice is:

  • n = 3
  • l  = 1
  • m_l = 1
  • m_s=+1/2

A diagram of a flow chart to find the average of 10 numbers​
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

Kindly check attached picture

Explanation:

Flowchart gives a graphical representation of a steps taken towers the execution of a program.

In the flowchart attached, A variable was initialized and set to 0 ; then a for loop was used to iterate integers 1 up to 10, for each number. It is added to the initialized variable sum until all the 10 integer numbers are added. The the average is obtained by dividing by 10.
