What is the designation for an orbital with the following quantum numbers: n = 2 and l = 0
How many unpaired electrons are in the ground state electron configuration for chromium? Your answer should be one number.
1) n=2 (principle quantum number)
l = 0 (s orbital)
designation for an orbital = 2 s
2) chromium configuration = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d5 4s1
number of unpaired electrons = 5 from d -orbital + 1 from s orbital
= 6
