Consider the following sets of quantum numbers:
Which of the below setting is not permissible arrangement of electrons in an atom?

Options

A. `{:(n,l,m,s),(4,0,0,-1/2):}`
B. `{:(n,l,m,s),(5,3,0,+1/2):}`
C. `{:(n,l,m,s),(3,2,-2,-1/2):}`
D. `{:(n,l,m,s),(3,2,-3,+1/2):}`

Answer

D

Explanation

For a given value of .l. the permissible values of .m are -l (l-1)....0... (l-1), l Thus, for l = 2, m cannot have a value of -3.
