Question

Give the quantum number sets for each electron in the 3p sublevel of a phosphorus (P) atom.

Answer 1

I got that l = 1 because that represents the p sublevel, but my question is how does the rest of the notation come in.

Answer 2

Why does l = 0 1 and 2?

Answer 3

For 3 P l =1 Ml =+1 Ms =+1/2 and -1/2
O Ms =+1/2 and -1/2
-1 Ms =+1/2 and -1/2

Answer 4

now what is ur question

Answer 5

So l only equals 1?

Answer 6

l= o for S orbital
l=1 for p orbital
l=2 for d orbital
l=3 for f orbital

Answer 7

so because it's p, l =1 right?

Answer 8

yaaaa :)

Answer 9

OK so i've got everything except for ms.
Is it always +1/2 and -1/2?

Answer 10

yaa it s always the same thing

Answer 11

Ok that makes a lot of sense then. Thank you!

Answer 12

you are welcome :)
