Answer: C. n = 3, l = 3, m = 3
Explanation:
1. Principle Quantum Numbers: This quantum number describes the size of the orbital. It is represented by n. n = 1,2,3,4....
2. Azimuthal Quantum Number: This quantum number describes the shape of the orbital. It is represented as 'l'. The value of l ranges from 0 to (n-1). For l = 0,1,2,3... the orbitals are s, p, d, f...
3. Magnetic Quantum Number: This quantum number describes the orientation of the orbitals. It is represented as
. The value of this quantum number ranges from
. When l = 2, the value of
will be -2, -1, 0, +1, +2.
A. n = 2, l = 1 , m = 0 is possible.
B. n = 1, l = 0, m = 0 is possible.
C. n = 3, l = 3, m = 3 is not possible as for n = 3, l = 0, 1 and 2 and m = 0,+1, +2, -1 and -2.
