Pauli's exclusion principle
ms = +1/2
The highest energy electron in Zirconium (Zr) corresponds to the 4th energy level (n=4) with an angular momentum quantum number of l=3 (d-orbital), a magnetic quantum number ml ranging from -3 to 3, and a spin quantum number of ms=+1/2. This set of quantum numbers specifies the 4d subshell in which the electron resides.
The complete set of quantum numbers for the fifth electron added to a hydrogen ion would be n=2, l=1, ml=-1, ms=+1/2. The principal quantum number (n=2) defines the energy level, the azimuthal quantum number (l=1) defines the subshell, the magnetic quantum number (ml=-1) defines the orientation in space, and the spin quantum number (ms=+1/2) defines the spin direction.
Yes. Always. Otherwise they would break the fundamental rules of quantum mechanics, which say that no two electrons can have the same four quantum numbers -- and spin is the 4th quantum number. If two e- are in the same orbital, they share 3 quantum numbers, but the spin quantum number must then be different.
The arrows pointing in opposite directions in the orbital filling diagram represent the two electrons in the same orbital having opposite spins. According to the Pauli exclusion principle, no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of quantum numbers, so one electron must have a spin of +1/2 and the other -1/2.
A possible quantum number set for an electron in a ground-state helium atom could be n1, l0, m0, s1/2.
ms = +1/2
The quantum number set of the ground-state electron in helium, but not in hydrogen, is (1s^2) or (n=1, l=0, ml=0, ms=0). It indicates that the electron occupies the 1s orbital, which has a principal quantum number (n) of 1, an orbital angular momentum quantum number (l) of 0, a magnetic quantum number (ml) of 0, and a spin quantum number (ms) of 0.
The highest energy electron in Zirconium (Zr) corresponds to the 4th energy level (n=4) with an angular momentum quantum number of l=3 (d-orbital), a magnetic quantum number ml ranging from -3 to 3, and a spin quantum number of ms=+1/2. This set of quantum numbers specifies the 4d subshell in which the electron resides.
The set of four quantum numbers for the final electron in Cobalt (Co) can be determined as follows: Principal quantum number (n): The energy level of the electron in the atom, which for Cobalt is typically 3. Azimuthal quantum number (l): Describes the shape of the orbital, which can be 0 to (n-1). For Cobalt, the possible values could be 0, 1, or 2. Magnetic quantum number (m_l): Specifies the orientation of the orbital in space, ranging from -l to +l. For Cobalt, this could be -1, 0, or +1 based on the possible values of l. Spin quantum number (m_s): Indicates the spin of the electron, which is either +1/2 (up) or -1/2 (down). For the final electron in Cobalt, the specific values for these quantum numbers would depend on the electron configuration and the particular orbital the electron occupies.
The spin quantum number was created in the early twentieth century to account for the magnetic properties of the electron. It has only two possible values, +1/2 and -1/2, which indicates the two possible spin states of the electron. A single orbital can hold up to 2 electrons, which must have opposite spin states.
There is no difference. Electrons are subatomic particles and therefore identical.Added:In the same orbital, defined by one 'tri' set of quantum numbers (n, l, and ml ) the spin quantum number differs, the two values being ms = +1/2 and ms = -1/2, are each taken by one electron.
The complete set of quantum numbers for the fifth electron added to a hydrogen ion would be n=2, l=1, ml=-1, ms=+1/2. The principal quantum number (n=2) defines the energy level, the azimuthal quantum number (l=1) defines the subshell, the magnetic quantum number (ml=-1) defines the orientation in space, and the spin quantum number (ms=+1/2) defines the spin direction.
An electron cannot have the quantum numbers ( n=1, \ell=1, m_\ell=0, m_s=-\frac{1}{2} ) because the principal quantum number ( n ) must be a positive integer and the azimuthal quantum number ( \ell ) must satisfy ( 0 \leq \ell < n ). Since ( n=1 ) allows only ( \ell=0 ), the specified ( \ell=1 ) is not permissible. Therefore, the set of quantum numbers violates the rules of quantum mechanics, making it impossible for an electron to possess them.

The quantum numbers for the 4d orbital are n=4, l=2, ml=-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, and ms=+1/2 or -1/2. The principal quantum number (n) represents the energy level, the azimuthal quantum number (l) represents the subshell, the magnetic quantum number (ml) represents the orientation of the orbital, and the spin quantum number (ms) represents the spin of the electron.
