Consider the following sets of quantum numbers: n l m s (i) 3 0 0 +1/2 (ii) 2 2 1 +1/2 (iii) 4 3 -2 -1/2 (iv) 1 0 -1 -1/2 (v) 3 2 3 +1/2. Which of the following sets of quantum number is not possible?
Multiple Choice Options
- A (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)
- B (ii), (iv) and (v)
- C (i) and (iii)
- D (ii), (iii) and (iv)
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
(i) represents an electron in 3s orbital
(ii) is not possible as value of m varies from 0, 1, .... ( n -1)
(iii) represents an electron in 4f orbital
(iv) is not possible as value of m varies from - l ... + l
(v) is not possible as value of m varies from - l ... + l , it can never be grater than l
