Question

Quantum numbers arise naturally from the mathematics used to describe the possible states of an electr Mapi in an atom. The four quantum numbers, the principal quantum number (n), the angular momentum quantum number (?), the magnetic quantum number (m), and the spin quantum number (ms) have strict rules which govern the possible values. Identify allowable combinations of quantum numbers for an electron. Select all that apply. n-5, 1-3, m,-1,ms=-1/2 n-2, 1-0, m,-0, ms= 1 n-3, 1-2, m1-2, m,-+l/2 n-3, 1--2, m1-2, ms=-1/2 n=4, 1-3, m1= 4, m s=-1/2

Explanation / Answer

options 1 and 3 is correct

comminh to the second option

ms value should be either +1/2 or -1/2 but he has given 1 so wrong

fourth option

l should not be -Ve so wrong

fifth option

n should be always greater than l but here both are qual so wrong

sixth option

ml should not be more than l so this is also wrong
