Answer

$n=3$ $l=1$ $m_l=-1,0,1$ $m_s=\frac{-1}{2}\space and \frac{+1}{2}$ (We can use these values to write out the 6 different unique combinations of the four quantum numbers.)

Work Step by Step

We know that for the 3p subshell $n=3$ and for the p subshell l=1 We also know that for $n=3$ and $l=1$ the possible values of $m_l$ are $m_l=-1,0,1$ and $m_s=\frac{-1}{2}\space and \frac{+1}{2}$ Hence, the required set of the four quantum numbers is: $n=3$ $l=1$ $m_l=-1,0,1$ $m_s=\frac{-1}{2}\space and \frac{+1}{2}$ (We can use these values to write out the 6 different unique combinations of the four quantum numbers.)
