For germanium atom write:

the set of four quantum numbers for the two highest energy electrons in an atom of Ge.

If you go to www.webelements.com and click on Ge, then click on the electron configuration (on the left side of the site but you may need to scroll to find it). Repost with specifics you don't understand.

Hello! Good Site! Thanks you! rztzssnovmpzck

Hello! I'm glad you found the website helpful. To determine the four quantum numbers for the two highest energy electrons in a germanium (Ge) atom, we'll need to refer to the electron configuration of germanium.

To find this information on the WebElements website, follow these steps:

1. Go to www.webelements.com.
2. On the main page, you'll find the periodic table. Locate the element germanium (Ge) on the table.
3. Click on the symbol "Ge" for germanium. This will take you to the germanium element page.
4. Scroll down on the germanium page until you find the electron configuration section.
5. Click on the "electron configuration". This will provide you with the specific electron configuration for germanium.

Now that you have the electron configuration for germanium, find the highest energy level or orbital in which the electrons are found. The orbital with the highest principal quantum number (n) indicates the highest energy electrons.

For example, the electron configuration of germanium is:
1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p²

In this case, the two highest energy electrons are located in the 4p orbital. Now we can determine the four quantum numbers for these electrons.

The four quantum numbers are:

1. Principal Quantum Number (n): It represents the energy level of the electron and is represented by a positive integer. In this case, for the 4p orbital, n = 4.

2. Azimuthal Quantum Number (l): It describes the orbital shape and is represented by the letters s, p, d, and f, corresponding to l values of 0, 1, 2, and 3 respectively. In this case, for the 4p orbital, l = 1.

3. Magnetic Quantum Number (ml): It represents the orientation of the orbital and can range from -l to +l, including zero. In this case, for the 4p orbital, ml can have values of -1, 0, or 1.

4. Spin Quantum Number (ms): It represents the spin orientation of the electron and can be either +1/2 (spin-up) or -1/2 (spin-down). In this case, for the two highest energy electrons in the 4p orbital, ms can have values of +1/2 or -1/2.

So, for the two highest energy electrons in a germanium atom, the set of four quantum numbers for the electrons in the 4p orbital would be:

n = 4, l = 1, ml = -1, 0, or 1, and ms = +1/2 or -1/2.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.
