Which of the following set of quantum number is not applicable for an electron in an atom?
Options
- An=1, l=1, m=1, s=+ 1 2
- Bn=1, l=0, m=0, s=+ 1 2
- Cn=2, l=0, m=0, s=+ 1 2
- Dn=2, l=0, m=0, s=- 1 2
Correct answer
A. n=1, l=1, m=1, s=+ 1 2
Step-by-step solution
For a given n value possible l values are 0 to (n-1) possible m values for a given l value is -l, 0,+I and value of s for an electron =+ 1 2 or - 1 2 . So for n=1, I=0 not 1 and m=0 not 1 .
