Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3,0,0, \frac{1}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\[
{ }_{11} \mathrm{Na}=1 \mathrm{~s}^{2}, 2 \mathrm{~s}^{2}, 2 \mathrm{p}^{6}, 3 \mathrm{~s}^{1}
\]
For \(3 s^{1}\),
\[
\mathrm{n}=3, \quad \mathrm{l}=0, \quad \mathrm{~m}=0, \quad \mathrm{~s}=\frac{1}{2}
\]
