Answer 1

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

There are four sets of quantum numbers, they are;

1) Principal quantum number (n): The values of the principal quantum number ranges from 1 - ∞.

2) Subsidiary/azimuthal/orbital quantum number (l): The values of this set of quantum number ranges from 0-3 corresponding to s, p, d, f.

3) Magnetic quantum number (m): The values of the magnetic quantum number ranges from -l to +l.

4) Spin quantum number (ms): The values of spin quantum number are; -1/2 and +1/2
