Which one of the following sets of quantum numbers represents the highest energy level in an atom?

Options

  1. An=4, l=0, m=0, s=+ 1 2
  2. Bn=3, l=1, m=1, s=+ 1 2
  3. Cn=3, l=2, m=-2, s=+ 1 2
  4. Dn=3, l=0, m=0, s=+ 1 2

Correct answer

C. n=3, l=2, m=-2, s=+ 1 2

Step-by-step solution

For highest energy level in an atom, (n+l) should be maximum.
