Correct answer: C

  1. Find the electronic configuration of rubidium

Rubidium has atomic number Z=37Z=37Z=37.

Its electronic configuration is:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s11s^2\,2s^2\,2p^6\,3s^2\,3p^6\,4s^2\,3d^{10}\,4p^6\,5s^11s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p65s1

So, the valence electron is in the 5s5s5s orbital.

  1. Assign the four quantum numbers

For the valence electron in 5s15s^15s1:

  • Principal quantum number: n=5n=5n=5
  • Azimuthal quantum number for an sss-orbital: l=0l=0l=0
  • Magnetic quantum number: for l=0l=0l=0, only possible value is ml=0m_l=0ml​=0
  • Spin quantum number: for a single electron, one allowed value is ms=+12m_s=+\frac{1}{2}ms​=+21​

Thus, the set is:

n=5,l=0,ml=0,ms=+12n=5,\quad l=0,\quad m_l=0,\quad m_s=+\frac{1}{2}n=5,l=0,ml​=0,ms​=+21​

  1. Check the options
  • A: 5,1,1,+125,1,1,+\frac{1}{2}5,1,1,+21​  incorrect, because l=1l=1l=1 means ppp-orbital
  • B: 5,1,0,+125,1,0,+\frac{1}{2}5,1,0,+21​  incorrect, because l=1l=1l=1 means ppp-orbital
  • C: 5,0,0,+125,0,0,+\frac{1}{2}5,0,0,+21​  correct
  • D: 5,0,1,+125,0,1,+\frac{1}{2}5,0,1,+21​  incorrect, because for l=0l=0l=0, mlm_lml​ must be 000, not 111

Therefore, the correct option is C.
