Question

Which of the following sets of quantum numbers is correct for an electron in 4f orbital?

A

$n = 4, l =3, m = +4, s = +\frac{1}{2}$

B

$n = 3, l = 2, m = -2, S = +\frac{1}{2}$

C

$n =4, l = 3, m = +1, s = +\frac{1}{2}$

D

$n =4, l = 4, m -4, s = -\frac{1}{2}$

Answer

$n =4, l = 3, m = +1, s = +\frac{1}{2}$

Explanation

Solution

$4f \to n = 4$ $l = 3$ $m = -l$ to $+ l$ $- 3$ to $+3$
