Consider the following set of quantum numbers. n l m _ 1 A 3 3 - 3 B 3 2 - 2 C 2 1 + 1 D 2 2 + 2 The number of correct sets of quantum numbers is

Quantrex Academy · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: 2

For a given ' n ' value l will have 0 to (n - 1) values and for a given ' l ' value m will have - m to + m values For n = 3, l = 3, is not possible.Similarly for n = 2, l = 2 is also not possible, as n and l have same values. So, set A, D are not possible. If n = 3, l can have 0 to 2 values and ' m ' can have - 2 to + 2 values, So, set B is possible. If n = 2, ' l ' canhave0and1valuesand ' m ' canhave - 1to + 1values . So, set C is also possible. Hence, set B and C are the correct set of quantum nmbers.
