    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 \[4{{s}^{1}}\], \[n=4,\] \[l=0,\] \[m=0,\] \[s=+\frac{1}{2}\]
