Question

Give two possible sets of four quantum numbers for the electron in hydrogen when it is in its lowest energy state.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The electron in the lowest energy state will be found in 1 s energy level.

set of 4 possible quantum numbers

Principal quantum no : n = 1 ,

Azimuthal quantum no l = 0

Magnetic quantum no m = 0

Spin quantum no  s = + 1/2

set of other quantum nos

Principal quantum no : n = 1 ,

Azimuthal quantum no l = 0

Magnetic quantum no m = 0

Spin quantum no  s = - 1/2
