Question

From the following sets of qusantum numbers, state which are possible. Explain

why the others are not possible.

(i) n = 0, l = 0, ml = 0, ms = +1/2

(ii) n = 1, l = 0, ml = 0, ms – – 1/2

(iii) n = 1, l = 1, ml = 0, ms= +1/2​

Answer 1

Answer:

(ii) is possible

Explanation:

i) n can not be equal to zero

ii) l = n-1 ml = -l to + l. Ms= +1/2 or -1/2

all sets quantum numbers are possible

III) value of l can't be equal to n

it should be n-1
