Do you guys know why it's B and not D?,

That's a good question. What did the explanation say? I was thinking D too because ground state Sr would be 5s^2; 5 is right and s refers to 0. 1 would be p for azimuthal.

I think the book is wrong

 

[emminent]

Yeah... What book are you using? The explanation is right but it should be 0 for azimuthal or l

 

[syeh3]

Lol dat booster.. I just emailed the person who incharge of this. But I know how to do these problems so I'm ok for the exam!

 

[emminent]

lol... so far how's the book?

 

[discensdentibus]

That's an error.

The book is decent... I went thru destroyer but all the calculations were difficult so I am using this book. It's mostly very conceptual only a few calculations but I think I get the grasp. The bootcamp online is hard with the math portion of the gen chem.

Okay it turns out I was right! YAY

The answer is D, s=0, p=1, d=2, f=3

Wait so is it B or D? Wouldn't it be D?

 

[syeh3]

It's D!!!
