How many valence electrons in a ground state sulfur atom can have the quantum numbers ml = +1 and ms = + ?
a. 6
b. 1

B. 1

Explanation:

The quantum numbers are:

n -> principal, which represents the shell and varies from 1 to 7;

l -> azimuthal, which represents the subshell and varies from 0 to 3;

ml -> magnetic, which represents the orbital and varies from -l to +l passing by 0;

ms -> spin, which represents the spin of the electron, +1/2 or -1/2

Each orbital (ml) can have at least 2 electrons, each one with different ms numbers. So, only 1 electron is possible to have quantum numbers ml = +1 and ms = +1/2 in the valence shell.

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.
