I can do this but the point of this site is to help you do it. Tell me what you don't understand about it. Do you know the rules?

Here are the rules.
n may have values of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.............to infinity.
l (that's ell) may have values of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc but may not be larger than n-1.
m<sub>l</sub> may have values of - l minimum to + l maximum with all integral numbers between; i.e., -l, -l+1, -l+2 etc to +l
m<sub>s</sub> may have values of +1/2 or -1/2 only.
So for the first two electron in the K shell,
n = 1, l = 0, m<sub>l</sub> = 0, and m<sub>s</sub> = +1/2
n = 1, l = 0, m<sub>l</sub> = 0, and m<sub>s</sub> = -1/2
Then for the third electron which is the first one in the L shell,
n = 2 so l may be 0 or 1, m<sub>l</sub>may be -1, 0, +1 and for each of those m<sub>s</sub>may be +1/2 or -1/2 etc.
Be explicit if you have questions.
