Question:

Which of the following sets of quantum numbers (n, l, ml, m).?

best describes the highest energy valence electron in a ground state aluminum atom?a) 2, 0, 0, 1/2b) 2, 1, 0, 1/2c) 3, 0, 0, 1/2d) 3, 0, 1, 1/2e) 3, 1, 1, 1/2

Answer:

since we have for the valence electrons in Al: 3s2 3p1 n3 l1 I think the answer is (e) but am not sure
