Which of the following sets of quantum numbers is correct for an electron in 3 d -orbital?
Options
- An=3, l=2, m=-3, s=+ 1 2
- Bn=3, l=3, m=+3, s=- 1 2
- Cn=3, l=2, m=-2, s=+ 1 2
- Dn=3, l=2, m=-3, s=- 1 2
Correct answer
C. n=3, l=2, m=-2, s=+ 1 2
Step-by-step solution
For 3 d -orbitals; n=3, =2 . m can take values from - to + , i.e., -2 to +2 . s can take values + 1 2 or - 1 2
