Question
Which of the following sets of quantum numbers represents the highest energy of an atom?
Options
A.n = 3, l = 2,m = 1,s = + 1/ 2
B.n = 3, l = 2,m = 1,s = + 1/ 2
C.n = 4, l = 0,m = 0,s = + 1/ 2
D.n = 3, l = 0,m = 0,s = + 1/ 2
Solution
(2) is the correct option because it has the maximum value of n + l
Hence, (2) is correct
Hence, (2) is correct
