Question

(a) How many different possible ways are there to assign the sets of quantum numbers to the four 2p electrons in oxygen (Z=8)? (b) List all possible values of the total ms for the four electrons. (c) List all possible values of the total ml of the four electrons. (d) If the total ms has its largest potential value, what are the possible values of ml? (e) If the total ml has its largergest possible value, what are the values of the total ms?

Please shwo work for your answers and do not answer unless you can answer each part of the question.

Explanation / Answer

for 2p

n = 2

l = 0,1,2,...(n-1)

l = 0 , 1

m = -l,-(l-1),-(l-2),,,,-2,-1,0 , 1 ,2 ......(l-1),l

m = -1,0,1

s = +1/2 , -1/2

part b )

2px has 2 electron = -1 , -1

2py = 1

2pz = 0
