Question

which of the following sets of quantum numbers represents the highest energy of an atom
1.n = 3, l = 2, m = 1, s = +1/2
2.n = 3, l = 2, m = 1, s = -1/2
3.n = 4, l = 0, m = 0, s = +1/2
4.n = 3, l = 0, m = 0, s = +1/2

Answer 1

2 option is the correct answer

$by \: n + l \: rule$

1 and 2 options seems to be more energetic.

In first option there is only 1 electron in the orbital but in 2nd option there are two of them .

So 2nd is the correct option .

$nice \: question \: though$
