    The set of quantum numbers for the outermost electron for copper in its ground state is

    A) \[4,\,\,1,\,\,1,+\frac{1}{2}\]        

    B) \[3,\,\,2,\,\,2,+\frac{1}{2}\]

    C) \[4,\,\,0,\,\,0,+\frac{1}{2}\]        

    D) \[4,\,\,2,\,\,2,+\frac{1}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The electronic configuration of the Cu atom is                                 \[_{29}Cu=[Ar]\,3{{d}^{10}}4{{s}^{1}}\] Since, the outermost shell is 4s, thus outermost electron is in it.                 For \[4{{s}^{1}}\], \[n=4\],                    \[l=0\],                             \[m=0\],                   \[s=+\frac{1}{2}\]
