How many electrons have quantum numbers values n l m?

In theory, the number of electrons with each quantum number is not limited. However, for any given "main quantum number" (n), the number of electrons having the other quantum numbers is limited - but it depends on the value of "n". For more information, the Wikipedia article on "quantum number" seems to give a good overview.


How are electrons in a atom organized?

Electrons are generally gathered around an atom beginning with the lowest possible quantum numbers.


How many electrons can have the quantum numbers n 5 ℓ 0 ml0?

There can be two electrons with those quantum numbers in an atom. Each electron is completely described by four quantum numbers. The one that's missing in the list provided is ms, which can have only two possible values (+1/2 and -1/2).


Names and symbols of the four quantum numbers required to define the energy of electrons in atoms?

These are: principal quantum number (n), azimutal quantum number (ł), magnetic quantum number (m), spin quantum number (sd).


What does the third quantum number (l) describe?

The specific orbital within a sublevel- apex


The Pauli exclusion principle states that?

Simple stated, no two electrons can have the same quantum numbers. Electrons at the same level would have a + and - spin.


How many electrons can possess this set of quantum numbers... principal quantum number 4... angular quantum number 2?

10 electrons.The angular momentum quantum number is l (small L). This quantum number is dependant on the principal quantum number, and has values, 0 1,2 ..(n-1), where each value of n refers to a subshell known to chemists as followsn= 0, s orbital; n=1, p orbital; n= 2, d orbital; n= 3, f orbital.So we are looking at the d orbitals.There are five d orbitals, with magnetic quantum numbers running from -l to +l, that is -2, -1, 0, +1, +2Each of these can hold 2 electrons (with spin quantum numbers -1/2, +1/2)So we have 10 electrons that can have pricipal quantum numbers of 4 and angular monmentum quantum number of 2.


What are the quantum numbers for iodine?

Quantum numbers are a set of 4 imaginary numbers which explain the position and spin of electrons in an atom it can not explain an atom as a whole Iodine has 53 electrons so there are 53 sets of quantum numbers for Iodine.The above is correct. Assuming you meant to ask for the quantum numbers for the last electron added to Iodine, that would be n=5, l=1, m=0, s=1/2.
