The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given sets of quantum numbers is incorrect, we need to analyze each set based on the rules governing quantum numbers. ### Quantum Numbers Overview: 1. **Principal Quantum Number (n)**: Can take any positive integer value (1, 2, 3,...). 2. **Azimuthal Quantum Number (l)**: Can take values from 0 to (n-1). 3. **Magnetic Quantum Number (m)**: Can take values from -l to +l, including zero. 4. **Spin Quantum Number (s)**: Can take values of +1/2 or -1/2. ### Analyzing Each Set: **Set I: \( n=3, l=4, m=0, s=+\frac{1}{2} \)** - Here, \( n = 3 \) is valid. - However, \( l = 4 \) is invalid because \( l \) must be in the range \( 0 \) to \( n-1 = 2 \). - Therefore, this set is **incorrect**. **Set II: \( n=3, l=3, m=+3, s=+\frac{1}{2} \)** - \( n = 3 \) is valid. - \( l = 3 \) is invalid for the same reason as above; \( l \) must be less than \( n \) (i.e., \( l \) can only be 0, 1, or 2). - Therefore, this set is **incorrect**. **Set III: \( n=6, l=0, m=+1, s=-\frac{1}{2} \)** - \( n = 6 \) is valid. - \( l = 0 \) is valid. - However, \( m = +1 \) is invalid because for \( l = 0 \), the only possible value for \( m \) is 0. - Therefore, this set is **incorrect**. **Set IV: \( n=4, l=2, m=+2, s=0 \)** - \( n = 4 \) is valid. - \( l = 2 \) is valid. - However, \( m = +2 \) is invalid because for \( l = 2 \), \( m \) can take values of -2, -1, 0, +1, or +2, but the spin quantum number \( s \) cannot be 0; it must be either +1/2 or -1/2. - Therefore, this set is **incorrect**. ### Conclusion: All four sets of quantum numbers are incorrect. ### Final Answer: **All sets of quantum numbers (I, II, III, IV) are incorrect.** ---
