Question
Which statement about the quantum numbers that identify an atomic orbital is not correct? Orbitals with the same values for the principal quantum number and the angular momentum quantum number have the same energy. Orbitals with the same value for the principal quantum number and the angular momentum quantum number are said to be in the same subshell. The value for the angular momentum quantum number also is designated by a letter: s = 0, p = 1, d = 2, f- 3, etc. The angular momentum quantum number, e, identifies the shape of an orbital. The value of the angular momentum quantum number can range from 0 to n, where n is the principal quantum number for the orbital. Which of the following is not an allowed value for the principal quantum number? Which of the following elements has the ground-state electron configuration 1s^2s^2p^63s^2^3p^4? Which of the following atoms has no unpaired electrons?Explanation / Answer
36. Option e.
'l' can vary from 0 to n-1 only.
37. option a. 0 (zero is not an allowed value for principal quantum no.)
38. option c. Sulfur (S)
39. option a. Mg has no unpaired electrons with configuration 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 2s2
