The electron configuration of a neutral atom is 1s22s22p63s2. write a complete set of quantum numbers for each of the electrons. name the element.

The four quantum number for each electron will be:

Explanation:

As the element is neutral, the number of protons will be equal to number of electrons which will be the atomic number of the element.

Number of electrons =12

Atomic number = 12

Element : Magnesium

The principal shell is represented by "n"

i) For "s" subshell the value of l =0 (azimuthal quantum number) thus m (magnetic quantum number)= 0

The two electrons in s subshell will have either plus half or minus half spin quantum number

ii) for "p" subshell the value for l =1

thus m = 0 or +1 or -1

The two electrons in each orbital will have either plus half or minus half spin quantum number

explanation:

0.07 g/cm³

1.37 g/cm³
