Question

Give the value of magnetic and azimuthal quantum number for 17 electrons of chlorine?

Answer 1

Answer:

Each electron in an atom (element) is characterized by four quantum numbers:

(1) Each electron in an atom (element) is characterized by four quantum numbers:

The azimuthal or angular quantum number, l, which describes the electron orbital shape, can have 7 possible values (0 to 6; corresponding to the most frequently used designations s, p, d, f, g, h, i).

The magnetic number, mℓ, which specifies precisely which of the orbitals in a given shell the electron occupies (values range between -2, -1, 0, 1, and 2).

The electrons follow a well-defined (but somewhat variable for certain elements) filling pattern, generally as follows:

1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 4s2, 3d10, 4p6, 5s2, and so on, where the last number is the number of electrons in that orbital. The electron configuration in the atom is the main determinant of the chemical behavior of each element.

For chlorine, with atomic number 17, the electron configuration is:

1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p5.

Hope so it will help you.
