    Which of the following sets of quantum numbers represents the 19th electron in chromium? (Z = 24 for Cr)

    A)  4, 0, 0 \[\frac{1}{2}\]                     

    B)  4, 1, -1, \[\frac{1}{2}\]

    C)  3, 2, 2, \[\frac{1}{2}\]                    

    D)  3, 2, -2, \[\frac{1}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     The ground state electronic configuration of Cr is as                 \[_{24}Cr=[Ar]\,\,3{{d}^{5}},4{{s}^{1}}\] \[\because \] The 19th electron enters in \[4{{s}^{1}}\] subshell. For \[4{{s}^{1}}\]                 \[n=4,\,\,l=0\]   [For 5 orbital, \[l=0\]]                 \[m=0\]                                \[[\therefore m=-l\,to\,+l]\]                 \[s=+1/2\]
