Which of the following set of quantum numbers is impossible for an electron in an atom?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
n=4,ℓ=2,m=−3,s=−12{n}=4, \ell=2, {m}=-3, {s}=-\frac{1}{2}
Option D (n=4,ℓ=2,m=−3,s=−12{n}=4, \ell=2, {m}=-3, {s}=-\frac{{1}}{{2}}) is impossible because for ℓ=2\ell=2, the possible values of m are -2, -1, 0, 1, 2. m cannot be -3.
