To determine the possible values for the quantum numbers (n, l, m, and s) of an electron in the 4f orbital, we will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Principal Quantum Number (n)**: - The principal quantum number (n) indicates the main energy level of the electron. Since the electron is in the 4f orbital, the value of n is 4. - **Value of n**: **4** ...
