Answer: n= 3, l= 0 , m= 0 and s=[/tex]\frac{-1}{2}[/tex]
Explanation:
Principle Quantum Numbers : It describes the size of the orbital and the energy level. It is represented by n. Where, n = 1,2,3,4....
Azimuthal Quantum Number : It describes the shape of the orbital. It is represented as 'l'. The value of l ranges from 0 to (n-1). For l = 0,1,2,3... the orbitals are s, p, d, f...
Magnetic quantum number : It describes the orientation of the orbital. It is represented as 'm'. The value of m ranges from -l to +l.
Spin quantum number: It describes the spin of the electron. It is represented as 's'. The value of s can be +1/2 or -1/2
Thus electron enters 3s orbital , thus n= 3, l= 0 , m= 0 and s=[/tex]\frac{-1}{2}[/tex]
