atoms, the electrons are found in the first, second, and third energy levels. These electrons will jump to higher energy levels when energy is applied, and then fall back down, releasing their energy and giving off a spectrum. Why do you think the spectra for sodium and magnesium are not the same? Why

One bit of evidence that the quantum mechanical model is correct lies in the magnetic properties of matter. Atoms with unpaired electrons are attracted by magnetic fields and thus are said to exhibit pararamagnetism. The degree to which this effect is observed is directly related to the number of unpaired electrons present in the atom. Consider the ground-state electron configurations for Li, N, Ni, Te, Ba, and Hg. Which of these atoms would be expected to be paramagnetic, and how many unpaired electrons are present in each paramagnetic atom?
What is the maximum number of electrons that can occupy a f subshell (l = 3)?
Although no currently known elements contain electrons in g orbitals in the ground state, it is possible that these elements will be found or that electrons in excited states of known elements could being orbitals. For g orbitals, the value of l is 4. What is the lowest value of n for which g orbitals could exist? What are tile possible values of ml? How many electrons could a set of g orbitals hold?
How many unpaired electrons are there in an atom of (a) phosphorus? (b) potassium? (c) plutonium (Pu)?
Given the valence electron orbital level diagram and the description, identify the element or ion. a. A ground state atom b. An atom in an excited state (assume two electrons occupy the 1s orbital) c. A ground state ion with a charge of 1
Suppose that the spin quantum number could have the values 12,0 and 12 . Assuming that the rules governing the values of the other quantum numbers and the order of filling sublevels were unchanged, (a) what would be the electron capacity of an s sublevel? a p sublevel? a d sublevel? (b) how many electrons could fit in the n=3 level? (c) what would be the electron configuration of the element with atomic number 8? 17?
