Give a combination of four quantum numbers that could be assigned to an electron occupying a 5p orbital. express your answers using one significant figures. enter your answers separated by commas.

n=5

l=1

ml=-1,0,1

ms=-¹/₂,+¹/²

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the four required quantum numbers are:

- Principal quantum number (n) which indicates the shell at which the electron is. In this case, n=5.

- Angular momentum quantum number (l) which indicates the subshell at which the electron is. In this case l=1 (p subshell).

- Magnetic quantum number (ml)  which specifies the exact orbital at which electron is. In this case ml=-1,0,1 which is referred to px, py or pz as we don't know the exact electron.

- Spin magnetic quantum number (ms) which describes the angular momentum of the electron. In this case ms=-¹/₂,+¹/².

Now, if we assume that the electron configuration is specifically 5p¹, the precise quantum numbers turn out into:

n=5

l=1

ml=-1

ms=-¹/₂

Best regards.

answer : a model is often used to explain and make things easier to understand when any scientific topic needs to be demonstrated and explained.

as in this case where a scientist wants to use a model to present the results of his detailed scientific investigation. he should do it as it will him to make the audience understand the concept in a much better way. also, it can be changed according to new scientific understandings.
