The correct set of four quantum numbers for the valence electron of rubidium atom ( Z = 37 ) is:
Options
- A5 , 0 , 0 , + 1 2
- B5 , 0 , 1 , + 1 2
- C5 , 1 , 0 , + 1 2
- D5 , 1 , 1 , + 1 2
Correct answer
A. 5 , 0 , 0 , + 1 2
Step-by-step solution
Electronic configuration of Rb = Kr 5 s 1 Rb is alkali metal with valence electron in 5 s subshell. Hence, n = 5 Rb = [ Kr ] 5 s 1 n = 5 l = 0 m = 0 s = + 1 2 or - 1 2 Hence, the answer is option A,
