Interpretation:
The correct quantum number should be identified given the statement of different set of quantum numbers and orbital configuration.
Concept Introduction:
Electronic configuration: The electronic configuration is the distribution of electrons (e-) of a given molecule or respective atoms in atomic or molecular orbitals.
Quantum numbers: These terms are explained for the distribution of electron density in an atom. They are derived from the mathematical solution of Schrodinger’s equation for the hydrogen atom. The types of quantum numbers are the principal quantum number (n), the

- A bright violet line occurs at 435.8 nm in the emission spectrum of mercury vapor. What amount of energy, in joules, must be released by an electron in a mercury atom to produce a photon of this light?arrow_forwardWhat are quantum numbers? What information do we get from the quantum numbers n, l, and ml? We define a spin quantum number (ms), but do we know that an electron literally spins?arrow_forward6.17 The laser in most supermarket barcode scanners operates at a wavelength of 632.8 nm. What is the energy of a single photon emitted by such a laser? What is the energy of one mole of these photons?arrow_forward
- 6.96 When a helium atom absorbs light at 58.44 nm, an electron is promoted from the 1s orbital to a 2p orbital. Given that the ionization energy of (ground state) helium is 2372 kJ/ mol, find the longest wavelength of light that could eject an electron from the excited state helium atom.arrow_forwardSpectroscopists have observed He+ in outer space. This ion is a one-electron species like a neutral hydrogen atom. Calculate the energy of the photon emitted for the transition from the n = 5 to the n = 3 state in this ion using the equation: En = − Z2/n2 (2.179 × 10−18 J). Z is the positive charge of the nucleus and n is the principal quantum number. In what part of the electromagnetic spectrum does this radiation lie?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is a valid set of quantum numbers for an electron in a hydrogen atom? (a) n = 1, = 0, m = 0, ms = 1 (b) n = 1, = 1, m = 0, ms = 1/2 (c) n = 1, = 0, m = 1, ms = + 1/2 (d) n = 1, = 0, m = 0, ms = 1/2arrow_forward
