Among the following subshells, 3d, 4s, 4p, 4d, 4f, 5s, 5p, 5d, 5f, and 6s, which can contain 4 electrons all with spin quantum number ms = –1/2?
Write a set of four quantum number that explain the electron in the last 2p orbital of the following orbital diagram. Arrange the quantum numbers as n, ℓ, mℓ, and ms.
Consider a hypothetical world in which the angular-momentum quantum number (l) can have integral values of l = 0, 1, 2, ..., n instead of l = 0, 1, 2, ..., n–1. The other three quantum numbers have the same possible values as they do in ours. Provide the orbital diagram for the element with an atomic number of 18.
