Each of the following four sets contains two electrons, each of which is defined by four quantum numbers (n, l, ml, ms). For each set, indicate whether the quantum numbers for the two electrons are valid for the two electrons in the highest energy subshell of a neutral titanium atom. If they are not valid, list the principle that the quantum numbers violate (Pauli Exclusion, Aufbau, or Hund’s Rule) and explain below. (the numbers are shown below in the order...
