The correct Answer is:
To determine which sets of quantum numbers are correct, we need to analyze each set based on the rules governing quantum numbers. Quantum numbers consist of four values: principal quantum number (n), azimuthal quantum number (l), magnetic quantum number (m), and spin quantum number (s). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Quantum Numbers**: - The principal quantum number (n) can take positive integer values (1, 2, 3,...). - The azimuthal quantum number (l) can take integer values from 0 to (n-1). - The magnetic quantum number (m) can take integer values from -l to +l. - The spin quantum number (s) can take values of +1/2 or -1/2. 2. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option A**: Let's say n = 1 and l = 1. - Here, l cannot be equal to 1 when n = 1 because l must be in the range of 0 to (n-1). Thus, this option is **incorrect**. - **Option B**: Let's assume n = 2, l = 1, and m = 0. - Here, n = 2 is valid, l = 1 is valid (since l can be 0 or 1 when n = 2), and m = 0 is valid (since m can range from -l to +l, which is -1 to +1). Thus, this option is **correct**. - **Option C**: Let's assume n = 3, l = 2, and m = -1. - Here, n = 3 is valid, l = 2 is valid (since l can be 0, 1, or 2 when n = 3), and m = -1 is valid (since m can range from -2 to +2). Thus, this option is **correct**. - **Option D**: Let's assume n = 3 and l = 3. - Here, l cannot be equal to 3 when n = 3 because l must be in the range of 0 to (n-1), which is 0 to 2. Thus, this option is **incorrect**. 3. **Conclusion**: - The correct options based on the analysis are **Option B** and **Option C**. ### Final Answer: The correct sets of quantum numbers are **Option B and Option C**.

To determine which sets of quantum numbers are correct, we need to analyze each set based on the rules governing quantum numbers.
