Correct answer: C
- Find the electronic configuration of rubidium
Rubidium has atomic number .
Its electronic configuration is:
So, the valence electron is in the orbital.
- Assign the four quantum numbers
For the valence electron in :
- Principal quantum number:
- Azimuthal quantum number for an -orbital:
- Magnetic quantum number: for , only possible value is
- Spin quantum number: for a single electron, one allowed value is
Thus, the set is:
- Check the options
- A: incorrect, because means -orbital
- B: incorrect, because means -orbital
- C: correct
- D: incorrect, because for , must be , not
Therefore, the correct option is C.
