Question:

The Azimuthal quantum number for the valence electrons of \(\mathrm{Ga^+}\) ion is ___________.

(Atomic number of Ga = 31)

Show Hint

Write the configuration of Ga (Z = 31), then remove one electron from the outermost subshell (4p) to get Ga+.

Correct Answer: 0

Solution and Explanation

Ga (Z = 31): \([\mathrm{Ar}]\,3d^{10}\,4s^2\,4p^1\).
Ga+ forms by losing the single 4p electron: \([\mathrm{Ar}]\,3d^{10}\,4s^2\).
The valence (outermost) electrons are the two 4s electrons. For an s subshell the azimuthal quantum number \(l = 0\).
