Question

give all the possible values of the four quantum numbers of an electron in the following orbital: 3s n: 3 l: 0 m₁: 0 mₛ: write your answer in a fractional form.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the spin quantum number rule

The spin quantum number \(m_s\) can have two values for any electron, which are based on the electron's spin direction.

Step2: Find the values of \(m_s\)

For an electron in any orbital, the possible values of \(m_s\) are \(+\frac{1}{2}\) and \(-\frac{1}{2}\)

Answer:

\(+\frac{1}{2}\) and \(-\frac{1}{2}\)
