Warmup

1. Write the abbreviated

Se:
electron configuration for [Ar]4s23d104p4
selenium, and the full
Se2-
configuration for selenide. 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p6

2. Which of these electron

configurations is impossible?
a. 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d84p6 Se….but the excited state!
b. 1s22s22p62d103s23p4 Uhhhhh 2d doesn’t exist
c. 1s22s22p43s13p64s23d6 Excited state! CAN happen for sure!
d. 1s22s22p63s23p64s03d5 fine

number range

1 (n) 1 or more distance from the nucleus Energy level

(integer) Let’s say n = 3 as an example floor

l = 0, s orbital l = 1, p orbital
0 to n -1 l = 2, d orbital l = 3, f orbital
Orbital
2 (l) Ex. l = 3 – 1 = 2 (d orbital) wing
(integer)
However, on the 3rd energy level,
l CAN be 0 or 1, not just 2.

-l to +l, Since l = 2 (d orbital), ml can be:

Shape
3 (ml) incl. 0 -2, -1, 0, +1, or +2, since the d
room
(integer) orbital has 5 shapes
Spin
4 (ms) +½ or -½ First in shape is +½ bed

3s the highest energy e- in Se?
2p n = 4 (but other e- can be 3,2,1)
2s l = 3 (but other e- can be 2,1,0)
ml can be 3 to -3, but this e- is in the first p shape
so it’s -1
1s ms = + ½ or -½ (second e- in shape)
11. Which of the following
represents an acceptable
possible set of quantum
numbers (in the order n, l, ml,
ms for an electron in an atom?
a. 2, 1, -1, 1/2
b. 2, 1, 0, 0
c. 2, 2, 0, 1/2
d. 2, 0, 1, -1/2
e. 2, 0, 1, +1/2
12. Which set of quantum
numbers corresponds to
the highest energy electron
in an atom of zirconium?
a. 4, 3, -1, -1/2
b. 5, 4, -1, 1/2
c. 4, 2, -2, 1/2
d. 4, 2, -1, -1/2
e. 4, 2, -1, 1/2

13. An electron cannot have the quantum numbers

n = ___, l = ____, ml = ____.
a. 6, 1, 0 b. 3, 2, 3 c. 3, 2, -2 d. 1, 0, 0 e. 3, 2, 1
