  1. n=4, l=0, m_l=0
  2. n=4, l=2, m_l=1
  3. n=3, l=2, m_l=2

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following sets of quantum numbers corresponds to an electron in a 4d orbital?
  • Step 1: Understand what quantum numbers are. They describe the properties of electrons in atoms.
  • Step 2: Identify the principal quantum number (n). For a 4d orbital, n is 4.
  • Step 3: Identify the azimuthal quantum number (l). For a d orbital, l is always 2.
  • Step 4: Determine the magnetic quantum number (m_l). For l=2, m_l can be -2, -1, 0, +1, or +2.
  • Step 5: Combine the values: For a 4d orbital, the quantum numbers are n=4, l=2, and m_l can be -2, -1, 0, +1, or +2.
