Understand the concept of quantum numbers: Quantum numbers are used to describe the properties of electrons in atoms. There are four quantum numbers: the principal quantum number (n), the azimuthal quantum number (l), the magnetic quantum number (ml), and the spin quantum number (ms).
Identify the electron configuration of magnesium (Mg): Magnesium has an atomic number of 12, meaning it has 12 electrons. The electron configuration is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s². The 7th electron is in the 2p orbital.
Determine the principal quantum number (n): The principal quantum number corresponds to the energy level of the electron. For the 7th electron in magnesium, n = 2, as it is in the second energy level.
Determine the azimuthal quantum number (l): The azimuthal quantum number corresponds to the subshell of the electron. For a p orbital, l = 1.
Determine the magnetic quantum number (ml) and spin quantum number (ms): The magnetic quantum number can have values from -l to +l. For the 2p orbital, ml can be -1, 0, or +1. The spin quantum number can be +1/2 or -1/2. The correct set for the 7th electron is n = 2, l = 1, ml = +1, ms = +1/2.
