Question

Which of the following is a possible set of quantum numbers for an electron?

(1, 1, 0, +½)

(1, 0, 0, +½)

(3, 2, 3, -½)

(3, -1, 0, -½)

Answer 1

the (B) one is right.

Answer 2

first quantum no written in bracket = n (principal quantum number)
second one = l(azimuthal quantum no.) = calculated as = n - 1
third one = m = have values from = -l to +l
fourth one = s= either -1/2 or +1/2

using these, you can get the answer as to why only B is correct and others are not correct.

Answer 3

if you have trouble doing so, just ask.

Answer 4

ok thanks for the help

Answer 5

no prob,
