Question:

What does those electron configuration questions mean?

1.What values of Ml are acceptable for n3? [related to electron configuration]2How many orbitals have principal quantum number of 3? [ explain how you got the answer]3.How many unpaired electrons does an atom of aluminum have? [explain]4A zinc atom has how many unpaired electrons? [explain]5If a series of hydrogen atoms each contains an electron in the second excited state how many different energies can they emit as they relax to the ground state? [explain the most]

Answer:

each of the 2 ps are unpaired so 2 total unpaired 4) 0; 4s2 3d10 they are all paired 5) 1 n2 - n1 (2s and 2p are degenerate (sam energy in hydrogen)
