Answer:
n=5
l=1
ml=-1,0,1
ms=-¹/₂,+¹/²
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, the four required quantum numbers are:
- Principal quantum number (n) which indicates the shell at which the electron is. In this case, n=5.
- Angular momentum quantum number (l) which indicates the subshell at which the electron is. In this case l=1 (p subshell).
- Magnetic quantum number (ml) which specifies the exact orbital at which electron is. In this case ml=-1,0,1 which is referred to px, py or pz as we don't know the exact electron.
- Spin magnetic quantum number (ms) which describes the angular momentum of the electron. In this case ms=-¹/₂,+¹/².
Now, if we assume that the electron configuration is specifically 5p¹, the precise quantum numbers turn out into:
n=5
l=1
ml=-1
ms=-¹/₂
Best regards.
