Question

Consider the following sets of quantum numbers
nims
i) 3 0 0 +1/2
ii) 2 2 1 +1/2
iii) 4 3 -2 -1/2
iv) 1 0 -1 -1/2
v) 2 3 3 +1/2
Which of the following sets of the quantum
number is not possible.
2.5​

Answer 1

Answer:

(ii) and (v) are not possible

Explanation:

the Azimuthal quantum number cannot be equal to or greater than the principle quantum number.

and since in both (ii) and (v) n <= l they are not possible

(ii) 2 = 2 not possible

(v) 2 < 3 not possible
