    Which one of the following set of quantum numbers is not possible for electron in the ground state of an atom with atomic number 19?

    A)  \[n=2,\,l=0,\,m=0\]

    B)  \[n=2,\,l=1,\,m=0\]

    C)  \[n=3,\,l=1,\,m=-1\]

    D)  \[n=3,\,l=2,\,m=+\,2\]

    E)  \[n=4,\,l=0,\,m=0\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    \[K(Z=19):1\,{{s}^{2}},\,2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}},3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}},4{{s}^{1}}\] In the ground state, the value of \[l\] can be either zero or one. Hence, the set  of quantum numbers i.e., \[\left( n=3,\text{ }l=2,\text{ }m=+2 \right)\]cannot be possible in the ground state of the atom.
