Question:

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

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

@.Sam.

OpenStudy (jfraser):

What are the rules for assigning quantum numbers?

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

isn't the format (n, L, mL, ms)

OpenStudy (jfraser):

It is, and what is the rule for the acceptable values of 'n'?

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

I'm not sure.. :/

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

n = an integer from 1 to infinity L = an integer from 0 to n-1 mL = an integer from -L to +L ms = + or - 1/2

OpenStudy (jfraser):

Have you got notes or something to look at?

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

are you still there?:)

OpenStudy (jfraser):

All you need to do is look at each set of QNs and see where each rule fails

OpenStudy (jfraser):

(1, 1, 0, +1/2) fails the rule for L, doesn't it?

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

I thinks its B

OpenStudy (jfraser):

It is

thanks! :)
