A hypothetical atom has only two atomic energy levels, separated by 3.2 eV. Suppose that at a certain altitude in the atmosphere of a star there are 6.1 * 1013/cm3 of these atoms in the higher-energy state and 2.5 * 1015/cm3 in the lower-energy state. What is the temperature of the star’s atmosphere at that altitude?

For all the elements through neon, list the electron descriptions in their ground state using nℓ notation (for example, helium is 1s2).

Quantum numbers arise naturally from the mathematics used to describe the possible states of an electron in an atom. The four quantum numbers, the principal quantum number (?),(n), the angular momentum quantum number (?),(?), the magnetic quantum number (??),(m?), and the spin quantum number (?s)(ms) have strict rules which govern the possible values. Identify all allowable combinations of quantum numbers for an electron.
