### Quantum Numbers and Molecular Geometry - Example Questions

#### Question 43
**Which set of four quantum numbers could describe the 30th electron in a ground-state Zn atom?**

Options:
1. \( n = 3; l = 1; m_l = +1; m_s = +\frac{1}{2} \)
2. \( n = 3; l = 2; m_l = -2; m_s = -\frac{1}{2} \)
3. \( n = 4; l = 0; m_l = 0; m_s = +\frac{1}{2} \)
4. \( n = 3; l = 0; m_l = 0; m_s = +\frac{1}{2} \)

Note: 
- \( n \) denotes the principal quantum number.
- \( l \) denotes the azimuthal quantum number.
- \( m_l \) denotes the magnetic quantum number.
- \( m_s \) denotes the spin quantum number.

#### Question 44
**What is the molecular geometry of SOCl₂?**

Explanation:
(Molecular geometries are to be explained as per the VSEPR theory. Include visual aids or models if possible to enhance understanding.)

---

This text is aligned to guide students in learning about the application of quantum numbers in describing electron positions within atoms, specifically a zinc atom in this case, and the molecular geometry of sulfur oxychloride, SOCl₂.
