Allowed values for the quantum numbers of electrons are as follows:
n = 1, 2, 3, . . .
l = 0, 1, 2, 3, . . . , n -1
ml = 0, ±1, ±2, ±3, . . . , ±l
ms = ±12
The relationships between n and the shell designations are noted in Table 2.1. Relative to the sub shells,
l = 0 corresponds to an s sub shell
l = 1 corresponds to a p sub shell
l = 2 corresponds to a d sub shell
l = 3 corresponds to an f sub shell
For the K shell, the four quantum numbers for each of the two electrons in the 1s state, in the order of nlmlms, are 100( 12) and 100( −12). Write the four quantum numbers for all of the electrons in the L and M shells, and note which correspond to the s, p, and d sub shells.
