Which of the following sets of quantum numbers is not allowed?

Multiple Choice Options

  • A n=3,1=2, ml=0, s=+12\mathrm{n}=3,1=2, \mathrm{~m}_{\mathrm{l}}=0, \mathrm{~s}=+\frac{1}{2}
  • B n=3,l=2, ml=−2, s=+12\mathrm{n}=3, \mathrm{l}=2, \mathrm{~m}_{\mathrm{l}}=-2, \mathrm{~s}=+\frac{1}{2}
  • C n=3,l=3, ml=−3, s=−12\mathrm{n}=3, \mathrm{l}=3, \mathrm{~m}_{\mathrm{l}}=-3, \mathrm{~s}=-\frac{1}{2}
  • D n=3,l=0, m1=0, s=−12\mathrm{n}=3, \mathrm{l}=0, \mathrm{~m}_{1}=0, \mathrm{~s}=-\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

If n=3n=3 , then possible values of l=0,1,2l=0,1,2

But in option (C), the value of l\mathrm{l} is given ' 3 ', this is not possible.
