Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the Principal Quantum Number \( n \)
The principal quantum number \( n \) is the number that appears before the letter in the subshell notation. For example, in the subshell "6f", the principal quantum number \( n \) is 6.
Step 2: Identify the Angular Momentum Quantum Number \( l \)
The angular momentum quantum number \( l \) is determined by the letter in the subshell notation:
\( s \) corresponds to \( l = 0 \)
\( p \) corresponds to \( l = 1 \)
\( d \) corresponds to \( l = 2 \)
\( f \) corresponds to \( l = 3 \)
Step 3: Fill in the Table
Using the information from Steps 1 and 2, we can fill in the table as follows:
