Question

Consider the argon atom. For how many electrons does this atom have m1 = 1?

Answer 1

Hey mate,

◆ Answer-
2 electrons will have ml = 1.

◆ Explaination-
- There are four quantum numbers which describe the unique quantum state of an electron.
- The magnetic quantum number(ml) describes the subshell and shape of the orbital.
- It is used to calculate the azimuthal component of the orientation of orbital in space.


Hope this helps..

Answer 2

Answer:

4 electrons

Explanation:

Ar(18) = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

P has 3 orbitals having 2 electrons in each orbitals

m_l = -l to +l

For p it is -1 to 1 i.e -1 ,0,1

As we have 2p and 3p here so 2 electrons from each subshell will give 4 electrons
