Which of the following is not possible for 4p or 3d electrons?

Options

A. `n = 3, l = 2, m = +1, s = +(1)/(2)`
B. `n = 4, l = 1, m = 0, s = +(1)/(2)`
C. `n = 3, l = 3, m = +3, s = +(1)/(2)`
D. `n = 4, l = 2, m = -1, s = +(1)/(2)`

Answer

C

Explanation

For 4p orbital, n = 4 and l =2
For 3d orbital, n = 3 and l = 2
So option (C ) does not show 4p or 3d. It indicates 3f-orbital which is not possible.
