Question

Give the quantum number set for one electron in the 3p sublevel of a sulfur (S) atom.

Answer 1

ok!
sulfurs electronic configuration is
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p4

so for the 3p sublevel

principal quantum no - 3
angulum quantum no - 1
magnetic quantum no - (-1) or 0 or (-1)
spin quantum no - (+1/2) or (-1/2)

so the quantum numbers will be

[ 3 , 1, -1 , +1/2 ] or [ 3 , 1, -1 , -1/2 ]
[ 3 , 1, 0 , +1/2 ] or [ 3 , 1, 0 , -1/2 ]
[ 3 , 1, 1 , +1/2 ] or [ 3 , 1, 1 , -1/2 ]

hope this will help ya out!!
