The correct set of quantum numbers for the unpaired electron of a chlorine atom is

3, 1, 1, \pm \frac{1}{2}

.

For chlorine atom (

Z = 17)

, the last electron enters into

3 p

orbital for which

n = 3, 1 = 1, m = - 1, 0

or

+ 1

and

s = \pm \frac{1}{2}

Q. The correct set of quantum number for the unpaired electrons of chlorine atom is

$2, 0, 0, + \frac{1}{2}$

$2, 1, - 1, + \frac{1}{2}$

$3, 1, 1, \pm \frac{1}{2}$

$3, 0, 0, \pm \frac{1}{2}$

The correct set of quantum numbers for the unpaired electron of a chlorine atom is $3, 1, 1, \pm \frac{1}{2}$ .

For chlorine atom ( $Z = 17)$ , the last electron enters into $3 p$ orbital for which $n = 3, 1 = 1, m = - 1, 0$ or $+ 1$ and $s = \pm \frac{1}{2}$

Q. The correct set of quantum number for the unpaired electrons of chlorine atom is

2,0,0,+21​

2,1,−1,+21​

3,1,1,±21​

3,0,0,±21​

The correct set of quantum numbers for the unpaired electron of a chlorine atom is 3,1,1,±21​. For chlorine atom ( Z=17), the last electron enters into 3p orbital for which n=3,1=1,m=−1,0 or +1 and s=±21​

$2, 0, 0, + \frac{1}{2}$

$2, 1, - 1, + \frac{1}{2}$

$3, 1, 1, \pm \frac{1}{2}$

$3, 0, 0, \pm \frac{1}{2}$

The correct set of quantum numbers for the unpaired electron of a chlorine atom is $3, 1, 1, \pm \frac{1}{2}$ .

For chlorine atom ( $Z = 17)$ , the last electron enters into $3 p$ orbital for which $n = 3, 1 = 1, m = - 1, 0$ or $+ 1$ and $s = \pm \frac{1}{2}$
