Question

I need help solving for Part C please

 

**Learning Goal:**  
To learn the restrictions on each quantum number. 

**Quantum Numbers Overview:**  
Quantum numbers are labels for the state of an electron. Each electron in an atom has a unique set of four quantum numbers, which provide important information about its position and energy.

1. **Principal Quantum Number (n):**  
   - Denotes the electron's shell or main energy level.  
   - Any positive integer (n = 1, 2, 3, ...).  
   - Examples: n = 3 for the 3p subshell.

2. **Angular Momentum Quantum Number (l):**  
   - Indicates subshell type (s, p, d, f), with values ranging from 0 to n-1.  
   - Codes: 0 = s, 1 = p, 2 = d, 3 = f.  
   - Examples: For n = 2, l = 0 (s) or l = 1 (p).

3. **Magnetic Quantum Number (m_l):**  
   - Specifies orientation of the orbital in space.  
   - Values range from -l to +l.  
   - Examples: For l = 1, m_l = -1, 0, or +1.

4. **Spin Quantum Number (m_s):**  
   - Represents the electron's spin direction.  
   - Possible values are +1/2 or -1/2 (spin up or spin down).

**Exercise Explanations:**

- **Part A:**  
  Express answer numerically for m_l values. For l = 0, m_l = 0.
  - Answer: 0 (Correct)

- **Part B:**  
  Possible m_l values for a d orbital.
  - Answer: -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 (Correct)

- **Part C:**  
  Identifying possible sets of quantum numbers (n, l, m_l, m_s) for an electron.
  - Answer: Check the correct options based on constraints for n, l, and m_l.
  - Incorrect demo selection for 4, 2, 3, -1/2, reminding that m_l is dependent on l.

**Hints and Feedback:**  
- Provides guidance and clarification on correct entries.
- Reminds of constraints on quantum numbers.
