Answer:

n = 2, l = 1

The energy level is 2, and the p subshell is represented by l = 1.

Answer:

Chlorine has 17 total electrons with electron configuration 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^5.

What are the first two quantum numbers for the six electrons in the 2p subshell?

Step-by-step explanation:

The principal quantum number represents the shell number in which the electron is present.

It is represented with "n".

The next quantum number is the azimuthal quantum number.

It represents the shape of the orbital.

It has values from 0 to (n-1).

Its value depends on the principal quantum number.

Chlorine has 17 total electrons with electron configuration 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^5.

For the six elecetrons in 2p subshell:

The first two quantum number values are the same and their values are:

n=2 , l=1.
