Vedclass · Answer

(B) For a given principal quantum number $n$,the azimuthal quantum number $l$ can take values from $0$ to $n-1$. For $n = 5$,$l$ can be $0, 1, 2, 3, 4$. The magnetic quantum number $m$ ranges from $-l$ to $+l$. If $m = +3$,then $l$ must be at least $3$ (i.e.,$l = 3$ or $l = 4$). Option $A$ $(l = 4)$ is possible because $m = +3$ is allowed for $l = 4$. Option $C$ $(l = 3)$ is possible because $m = +3$ is allowed for $l = 3$. Option $B$ suggests $l = 0, 1, 3$. While $l = 3$ is valid for $m = +3$,$l = 0$ and $l = 1$ are not valid for $m = +3$ because for $l=0, m=0$ and for $l=1, m=-1, 0, +1$. Therefore,the statement in option $B$ is incorrect.

Which statement is not correct for $n = 5$,$m = +3$?
