Which of the following is correct set of 4 quantum numbers of 19^...

Which of the following is correct set of 44 quantum numbers of 19th19^{th} electron in Chromium (Atomic number =24= 24) in accordance with Aufbau principle?

Options

  1. An=3,l=2,m=+2,s=+12n = 3, l = 2, m = +2, s = +\dfrac{1}{2}
  2. Bn=3,l=2,m=−2,s=+12n = 3, l = 2, m = -2, s = +\dfrac{1}{2}
  3. Cn=4,l=1,m=0,s=+12n = 4, l = 1, m = 0, s = +\dfrac{1}{2}
  4. Dn=4,l=0,m=0,s=+12n = 4, l = 0, m = 0, s = +\dfrac{1}{2}

Correct answer

D. n=4,l=0,m=0,s=+12n = 4, l = 0, m = 0, s = +\dfrac{1}{2}

Step-by-step solution

The atomic number of Chromium is 2424.

According to the Aufbau principle, the order of filling of electrons is 1s,2s,2p,3s,3p,4s,3d1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d.

The electronic configuration of the first 1818 electrons is 1s22s22p63s23p61s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6.

The 19th19^{th} electron enters the 4s4s orbital.

For the 4s4s orbital, the quantum numbers are:
Principal quantum number, n=4n = 4
Azimuthal quantum number, l=0l = 0
Magnetic quantum number, m=0m = 0
Spin quantum number, s=+12s = +\dfrac{1}{2} or −12-\dfrac{1}{2}

This matches the set given in the fourth option.

Answer: n=4,l=0,m=0,s=+12n = 4, l = 0, m = 0, s = +\dfrac{1}{2}
