Answer:

For an electron in 5p orbital

5,1,-1,+1/2

For an electron in 6d orbital

6,2,-2,+1/2

Explanation:

The term quantum numbers refers to a set of values that can be used to determine the region in space where it is likely to find an electron. This region in space where there is a high probability of finding an electron is known as an atomic orbital. An atomic orbital is actually a wave function according to the Schrödinger wave equation.

There are four quantum numbers used in describing an atomic orbital: the principal quantum number (n), the orbital angular momentum quantum number also called azimuthal or subsidiary quantum number (l), the magnetic quantum number (ml), and the electron spin quantum number (ms).

For a 5p orbital;

n= 5, l= 1, ml= -1,0,1 ms= +1/2 or -1/2

For 6d orbital;

n= 6, l= 2, ml= -2,-1,0,1,2, ms= +1/2 or -1/2

Since we are requested to use a four quantum number description that can be assigned to an electron in these levels;

For an electron in 5p orbital

5,1,-1,+1/2

For an electron in 6d orbital

6,2,-2,+1/2
