Q.

Incorrect set of quantum numbers from the following is              [2023]

1 n=4, l=3, ml=-3,-2,-1, 0,+1,+2,+3, ms=-12  
2 n=5, l=2, ml=-2,-1,+1,+2, ms=+12  
3 n=4, l=2, ml=-2,-1,0,+1,+2, ms=-12  
4 n=5, l=3, ml=-3,-2,-1,0,+1,+2,+3, ms=+12  

Ans.

(2)

For a given value of l, ml has (2l+1) values.

For l=2, the number of ml values is [2(2) + 1] = 5. But in set (b), only four values of ml are given. The values of ml range from -l to +l including 0.

Hence, the possible ml values for the given orbital are -2,-1,0,+1,+2
