Question

Give two possible sets of four quantum numbers for the electron in hydrogen when its at its lowest-energy state. (two sets of: n, l, ml, ms)

Answer 1

n is the energy level (aka principal quantum number) ex.n=1, n=2, n=3, n= 4 and so on

l energy sublevel (aka azimuthal quantum number) ex. s=0, p=1, d=2, f=3

ml orbital in the sublevel (aka magnetic quantum number) ex. For p orbitals the sublevels
are (=1 0 +1)

ms direction of electron on sublevel (aka spin quantum number) ex. -1/2 or +1/2
