    Which of the following sets of quantum numbers is not possible?

    A)  \[n=4,\text{ }l=1,\text{ }m=0,\text{ }s=+\frac{1}{2}\]

    B) \[n=4,\text{ }l=3,\text{ }m=-3,\text{ }s=-\frac{1}{2}\]

    C) \[n=4,\text{ }l=1,\text{ }m=+2,\text{ }s=-\frac{1}{2}\]

    D) \[n=4,\text{ }l=0,\text{ }m=0,\text{ }s=-\frac{1}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    If the value of principal quantum number,\[n=4\]then the values of\[l=0\]to\[(n-1)\] =0,1,2,3 value of m depends on\[l\] If \[l=0,~~~m=0\]     \[l=1,~~\,\,\,m=-1,0,+1\]     \[l=2,~\,\,\,~m=-2-1,0,+1,+2\]     \[l=3,\,\,\,\,\,m=-3,-2,-1,0,+1,+2,+3\] and for each value of m, the value of s is\[\pm \frac{1}{2}\]Thus, option (c) is not possible because value of m is always less than that of\[l\].
