Question

Which combinations of quantum numbers $n, l, m$ and $s$ for the electron in an atom does not provide a permissible solution of the wave equation?

A

$3,2,1,\frac{1}{2}$

B

$3,1,1,-\frac{1}{2}$

C

$3,3,1,-\frac{1}{2}$

D

$3,2,-2,\frac{1}{2}$

Answer

$3,3,1,-\frac{1}{2}$

Explanation

Solution

When $n=3$ number of values of $l$ are 0 to $n-1$ i.e., $0,1,2$ . Hence, when $n=3$ , then $l=3$ does not exist.
