Q25 / 125 · BITSAT 2017 · Chemistry

Which of the following is an incorrect set of quantum members?

  • A
    n=2, l=0, m=0
  • B
    n=1, l=0, m=0
  • Correct answer
    C
    n=3, l=3, m=0
  • D
    n=2, l=1, m=1

Solution

Maximum l value should be equal to n−1 and it cannot be equal to n.

∵ for (l) It can be upto (n-1) and 

Thus, m=±l i.e. +l,0,-l

for (a) n=2,l=0,m=0 (correct),

for (b) n=1,l=0,m=0 (correct),

(c) n=3,l=3 (not correct),

(d) n=2,l=1,m=1 (correct),

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
