Question

Identify which sets of quantum numbers are valid for an electron. Each set is ordered (1, 2, me, m.). Check all that apply. ► View Available Hint(s) 2.-2.-2.-12 0.2.1,-1/2 2.1.-1.12 1.1.0.-172 2.1,-1,-1/2 1.0.0,12 3.2.1.-1 3.3.-2-1/2 1.3.0.112 3.2.-2.172 4.3.4-1/2 4.3.2.12

Answer 1

for option 1:

l can't be negative

l can't be -2

Hence, this is not valid

for option 2:

n must be a positive number

n can't be 0

Hence, this is not valid

for option 3:

This is valid

for option 4:

l must be less than n

Here value of n is 1

But value of l is 1

so, l can't be 1

Hence, this is not valid

for option 5:

This is valid

for option 6:

This is valid

for option 7:

ms can be -1/2 or 1/2.

It can’t be -1

Hence, this is not valid

for option 8:

l must be less than n

Here value of n is 3

But value of l is 3

so, l can't be 3

Hence, this is not valid

for option 9:

l must be less than n

Here value of n is 1

But value of l is 3

so, l can't be 3

Hence, this is not valid

for option 10:

This is valid

for option 11:

Value of l is 3

So, valid values of ml are [-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3]

so, ml can't be 4

Hence, this is not valid

for option 12:

This is valid

Answer: option 3,5,6,10,12
