Question

In a new universe, s orbitals may contain a total of 2 electrons, p orbitals may contain a total of 4 electrons, and d orbitals may contain a total of 6 electrons. The other rules in this universe are the same as our own.
a) how many orbitals would there be in each of s, p, and d levels
b) Write the rule for the allowable values of magnetic quantum number
c) What is the ground state electron configuration of element number 10 in the new universe
d) what would the atomic number of the first transition metal in this new universe be? (assume the same order of energy levels as our universe.

Explanation / Answer

a) s->1 , p->2 , d->3 b)m will take values from -l to +l total 2l+1 values c)1s2 2s2 2p4 3s2 d) conf will be 1s2 2s2 2p4 3s2 3p4 4s2 3d1 so atomic number is 17
