I need help with this problem :)
Problem: Give the quantum numbers (n, l, ml, ms) for each electron in one neutral carbonatom in ground state.
My solution: I look at a table to get the electron configuration and for a carbonatom i get 1S^2 2s^2 2p^2
For s
n=1, l=0, ml=0, ms=+-1/2
n=2, l=0, ml=0, ms=+-1/2
n=2, l=1, ml=-1,0,1, ms=??
For p
n=2, l=0, ml=0, ms=??
n=2, l=1, ml=-1,0,1, ms=??
My question: From the two first shells from s i get 4 electrons, so i have to get 2 more, but from where do i get those 2? It must be som kind of rule but i can't find any. pls help :)
