Question

Which combination of quantum numbers is invalid?
Options
A n=1, l=0, m=0, s=+1/2
B n=3, l=2, m=-3, s=-1/2
Correct Answer
C n=4, l=3, m=2, s=-1/2
D n=2, l=1, m=-1, s=+1/2
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The magnetic quantum number m can range from -l to +l. For l=2, m can be -2, -1, 0, +1, +2. m = -3 is invalid.
