Question

which among the following is incorrect set of quantum numbers for an electron in an atom
a. n=4, l=2, m=+2, s=+½
b. n=3, l=1, m=-1, s= -½
c. n=5, l=3, m= -3, s= +½
d. n=4, l=1, m= -2, s= -½​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Here

the incorrect one is option(d)

The value of m (magnetic quantum number)

ranges between +l to -l(Azimuthal quantum number)

In the last option,given l=1

So value of m will range between +l to -l i.e.

+1 to -1.
