The correct Answer is:
To determine the element that corresponds to the set of quantum numbers (4, 0, 0, +1/2), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Principal Quantum Number (n)**: - The first quantum number is 4, which indicates that the principal quantum number \( n = 4 \). This means the electron is in the fourth energy level. 2. **Identify the Azimuthal Quantum Number (l)**: - The second quantum number is 0, which corresponds to the azimuthal quantum number \( l = 0 \). This indicates that the electron is in an s orbital (since \( l = 0 \) represents s orbitals). 3. **Determine the Magnetic Quantum Number (m)**: - The third quantum number is also 0, which means the magnetic quantum number \( m_l = 0 \). This is consistent with the s orbital, which has only one orientation. 4. **Identify the Spin Quantum Number (s)**: - The fourth quantum number is +1/2, indicating that the spin quantum number \( s = +1/2 \). This means the electron has an upward spin. 5. **Determine the Electron Configuration**: - Since we have determined that the electron is in the 4s orbital, we need to consider how many electrons can occupy this orbital. The 4s orbital can hold a maximum of 2 electrons. - If there is 1 electron in the 4s orbital, the configuration would be \( 4s^1 \), which corresponds to Potassium (K). - If there are 2 electrons in the 4s orbital, the configuration would be \( 4s^2 \), which corresponds to Calcium (Ca). 6. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the element with the given quantum numbers could either be Potassium (K) or Calcium (Ca), depending on whether the 4s orbital has 1 or 2 electrons. ### Final Answer: The element having the quantum numbers (4, 0, 0, +1/2) is either Potassium (K) or Calcium (Ca).
