Which of the following is a possible set of quantum numbers for an electron?

The phrasing of this exercise means that we have to exclude 3 out of the 4 choices.
We have that the 4 quantum numbers that an electron has are the defining numbers of that electron. The first coordinate, the principal quantum number ncan take any positive value since it defines the shell in which that electron is.

The second number is called the orbital angular momentum number and takes the values from 0 to n-1 (the integer ones) where n is the principal number. Hence, we can disqualify options 1 and 4; the 1st because the principal and the orbital number are the same which is not possible and the 4th because the orbital number is negative which is not possible.

The third is the magnetic quantum number and takes values from -l to l (all integer values in between). Hence, it cannot be equal to n again, so option 2 is disqualified too.
The only remaining option that is correct is 3)

P.S.
We have a 4th number, the spin number; this number can assume only the values +1/2 and -1/2

Explain why a fluorescent light bulb is not as hot as an incandescent light bulb.
Jet001 [13]

An incandescent bulb becomes hotter than a fluorescent bulb when turned on because in a regular incandescent bulb, there is tungsten wire where electricity is converts into heat. A regular incandescent light bulb requires 4 times more energy than a fluorescent bulb in order to produce the same amount of light. The conversion is such that for a 75-watt bulb, temperature get raised to approximately 2000 K. For such a high temperature, the radiating energy from the wire have some visible light. In such bulbs, 90% of the electricity get consumed in producing heat and only 10% produces light thus, they are not much efficient source of light.

On the other hand, fluorescent bulbs produce light with less amount of heat. In them, 40% of electricity is consumed in producing light and 60% in heat which is very less as compared to heat produced by a incandescent bulb. This is because when it get turned on, mercury atoms inside the bulb collides with electrons and produce UV light  which is then converted into visible light using thin layer of phosphor power present inside the bulb. This produces low amount of heat thus, the bulb stays cooler, the bigger size of bulb also helps in dispersing heat.

Therefore, a fluorescent light bulb is not as hot as an incandescent light bulb.

Are protons and neutrons electrically charged
blondinia [14]
Protons are positively charged neutrons are neutrally charged amd electrons are negatively charged. Therefore only the protons in this instance are charged
