JEE Main2007ChemistryStructure of AtomActual
Which of the following sets of quantum numbers represents the highest energy of an atom?
Options
- An =3, ~l =2, ~m =1, ~s =+1 / 2
- Bn =3, ~l =2, ~m =1, ~s =+1 / 2
- Cn =4, ~l =0, ~m =0, ~s =+1 / 2
- Dn =3, ~l =0, ~m =0, ~s =+1 / 2
Correct answer
B. n =3, ~l =2, ~m =1, ~s =+1 / 2
Step-by-step solution
(B) is the correct option because it has the maximum value of n+ Hence, (B) is correct.
