RUDIKE [14]4 years ago
6 0
The vapors of some chemicals used in the chemistry laboratory, especially isocyanates, can react and bond the contact lens to the eye.

(FYI - the family of isocyanates include Superglue..I wouldn't want to have been the person who discovered this unfortunate reaction!)

What are the four sets of quantum numbers for nickel?
nlexa [21]

The quantum numbers for the last valence electron in nickel are (3, 2, 0, -½).

The electron configuration of nickel is [Ar]4s²3d⁸

The last electron added is a 3d electron, so <em>n</em> = 3 and <em>l</em> = 2.

We construct a table of quantum numbers.

<u>Element </u><em><u>n</u></em><u>  </u><em><u>l</u></em><u>   </u><em><u>m</u></em><u>ₗ mₛ  </u>

    Sc      3 2   2 +½  

    Ti       3 2   1 +½  

    V       3 2   0 +½  

    Cr     3 2   -1 +½  

    Mn    3 2  -2 +½  

    Fe     3 2   2  -½  

    Co    3 2    1  -½  

    Ni     3 2   0  -½  

The quantum numbers for the last electron in nickel are (3, 2, 0, -½).
