Explain why the quantum number set (2, 1, -2, -½) is not possible for an electron in an atom.

@Luigi0210

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is no such thing as a -1/2 spin i think

rishavraj (rishavraj):

see m lies -l to l.... and here l = 1 and m = -2 which is impossible

rishavraj (rishavraj):

m --- magnetic quantm no l --- azimuthal quantm no

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

your speaking a different language bro

rishavraj (rishavraj):

which language u understand

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

human, stupid, and sarcasm. take your pick

rishavraj (rishavraj):

isn't it p = 2 l = 1 m = -2 spin is -1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah rishavraj is right

rishavraj (rishavraj):

@lovelyharmonics i didnt question u that in wrong sense...I meant what do u call them....huh

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

i have 2 more questions though c:

rishavraj (rishavraj):

yup..what r they...

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

An s sublevel is represented by the quantum number

rishavraj (rishavraj):

when l = 0 its "s"

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

yay c: and How many electrons in an atom can share the quantum numbers n = 3, l = 2?

rishavraj (rishavraj):

10 its "d" sublevel

OpenStudy (lovelyharmonics):

c: yay (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ lots of sparkelz
