Question

For a 6s electron the value of n l m s respectively could be
A 6,4,4,+1/2
B 1,0,0,+1/2
C 6,1,0,+1/2
D 6,0,0,+1/2

Answer 1

answer is D)

this is because,

• n = 6
• l for s orbital is 0
• m can take any values from +l to -l, so value of m is 0
• s can be +1/2 or -1/2

Answer 2

The correct option is D. 6, 0, 0, +1/2.

Given,

6s electron

To Find,

The values of n, l, m, s could be =?

Solution,

We can solve the question as follows:

It is asked that we have to find the n, l, m, s values for a 6s electron.

n is called the Principal quantum number. Its values are natural numbers. Here, the value of n is 6.

$n = 6$

l is called the Azimuthal quantum number. For the s orbital, the value of l is always 0.

$l = 0$

m is called the Magnetic quantum number. Its values range from -l to +l. Since l is 0, m will also be 0.

$m = 0$

s is called the Spin quantum number. Its value can be +1/2 or -1/2.

$s = +1/2$

Hence, the correct option is D. 6, 0, 0, +1/2.
