Answer

See the detailed answer below.

Work Step by Step

a) We know that $Z=6$ for carbon. We will start with $n=1$ in the order of $(n,l,m_l,m_s)$: $$\left(1,0,0,\frac{-1}{2}\right), \left(1,0,0,\frac{+1}{2}\right), \left(2,0,0,\frac{-1}{2}\right),$$ $$\left(2,0,0,\frac{+1}{2}\right), \left(2,1,-1,\frac{-1}{2}\right), \left(2,1,-1,\frac{+1}{2}\right)$$ -------------- b) We know that $Z=13$ for aluminum. We will start with $n=1$ in the order of $(n,l,m_l,m_s)$: $$\left(1,0,0,\frac{-1}{2}\right), \left(1,0,0,\frac{+1}{2}\right), \left(2,0,0,\frac{-1}{2}\right),$$ $$\left(2,0,0,\frac{+1}{2}\right), \left(2,1,-1,\frac{-1}{2}\right), \left(2,1,-1,\frac{+1}{2}\right),$$ $$\left(2,1,0,\frac{-1}{2}\right), \left(2,1,0,\frac{+1}{2}\right), \left(2,1, 1,\frac{-1}{2}\right),$$ $$\left(2,1,1,\frac{+1}{2}\right), \left(3,0,0,\frac{-1}{2}\right), \left(3,0, 0,\frac{+1}{2}\right),\left(3,1, -1,\frac{-1}{2}\right)$$
