Question
A possible excited state of the $\mathrm{H}$ atom has the electron in a 4porbital. List all possible sets of quantum numbers $n, \ell$ and $m_{\ell}$ for this electron.
Step 1
The quantum number n represents the principal quantum number, which indicates the energy level or shell in which the electron is located. In this case, the electron is in the 4p orbital, so the principal quantum number n is 4. Show more…
