Identify the correct values for a 1s sublevel. A) n = 3, l = 1, m_l = 0 B) n = 2, l = 1, m_l = -2 C) n = 1, l = 0, m_l = 0 D) n = 2, l = 0, m_l =1 E) n = 4, l = -1, m_l = -2

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct values for a 1s sublevel are: 
- n = 1 (since it is the first energy level)
- l = 0 (since s sublevels have l = 0)
- mS = +1/2 or -1/2 (since there is only one orbital in an s sublevel and each electron will have a spin of either +1/2 or -1/2).

Option C is the only one that satisfies all these conditions.
