Which of the following is a possible set of quantum numbers for an electron? (1, 0, 0, +1) (2, 2, 1, +½) (4, -3, 0, -½) (3, 1, 1, -½)

OpenStudy (aaronq):

which one do you think is right?

OpenStudy (lena772):

b

OpenStudy (aaronq):

or can you eliminate some?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

hm b has \(n\)=\(l\), so thats incorrect

OpenStudy (lena772):

is it c? I don't think it's a

OpenStudy (aaronq):

it can't be a, \(m_s\) can only equal \(\pm 1/2\) it can't be c, \(l>0\)

OpenStudy (lena772):

you said n cant equal 1 so how is it d

OpenStudy (aaronq):

in d, \(l=m_s\) n=3 \(l\)=1 \(m_s\)=1
