Question

Identify the element whose highest energy electron would have the following four quantum numbers?

Answer 1

C. 6, 1, 0, -1/2

Explanation:

The four quantum numbers are:

• Principal quantum number (n): this represents the energy level in which an orbital is located.
• Azimuthal quantum number gives the shape of the orbitals in subshells accommodating the electrons.
• Magnetic quantum number gives the number of spatial orientations or degeneracy of the orbitals in the subshells.
• Spin quantum number describes the spinning of an electron in either clockwise or anticlockwise directions.

To know the electron with the highest energy, we use the principal quantum number values.

n values takes whole numbers i.e n = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7.............

The higher the value, the higher the energy level.

From the given quantum numbers, C has the highest energy levels.
