MCQ
The four quantum numbers of the valence electron of potassium are
  • A
    $4, 1, 0$  and $\frac{1}{2}$
  • B
    $4, 0, 1 $ and $\frac{1}{2}$
  • $4, 0, 0$  and $ + \frac{1}{2}$
  • D
    $4, 1, 1 $ and $\frac{1}{2}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$4, 0, 0$  and $ + \frac{1}{2}$
c
(c) Atomic number of potassium is 19 and hence electronic configuration will be

$1{s^2},\,2{s^2},\,2{p^6},\,3{s^2},\,3{p^6},\,4{s^1}$

Hence for $4{s^1}$ electron value of Quantum number are

Principal quantum number $n = 4$

Azimuthal quantum number $l = 0$

Magnetic quantum number $m = 0$

Spin quantum number $s = + 1/2$
