What is the quantum number set of the ground-state electron that is found in lithium (Li) but not in helium (He)? (1, 0, 0, +½) (1, 0, 1, +½) (2, 0, 0, +½) (2, 0, 1, +½)

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

@Abhisar how do you do this?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

2\(s^1\) electron

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Can u find the quantum number this ?

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

um it don't know how

OpenStudy (abhisar):

It's simpler 2 will be principle quantum number, 0 will be Azimuthal quantumn number (l), 0 will be magnetic quantum number (\(\huge m_l\)), =+1/2 will be spin quantum number (\(\huge m_s\))

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Got it ?

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

can you tell me how to set it up?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

u know to find out 4 quantum numbers ?

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

yes 0 to (n-1)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

that is the formula for finding l (one of the 4 quantum numbers)

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

o

OpenStudy (abhisar):

I told u to read ur textbook. U read that ?

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

i don't have a textbook I am doing online studying

OpenStudy (abhisar):

then u must be having an e-book

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

I don't

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Then how do u study ?

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

i read lessons but they don't make any sense to me:(

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

ok it makes more sense

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

l = 0 to n-1. Hence, it can have values 0, 1, 2. m = -l to +l. Hence, it can have values -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 s = +1/2 and -1/2 i don't understand this part

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

@Abhisar

OpenStudy (abhisar):

all three ?

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

yes :l

OpenStudy (abhisar):

What is giving u trouble ?

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

wait so if you solve the problem is your answer the third option?

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

@radar

OpenStudy (abhisar):

yes it is the third one

OpenStudy (superhelp101):
