Vedclass · Answer

(B) For an electron in a $3p$-orbital,the principal quantum number $n = 3$. For a $p$-orbital,the azimuthal quantum number $l = 1$. The magnetic quantum number $m$ can take values from $-l$ to $+l$,which means $m = -1, 0, +1$. The spin quantum number $s$ can be $+1/2$ or $-1/2$. Comparing these with the given options,in option $(b)$,the value of $m$ is given as $-2$,which is not possible for $l = 1$. Therefore,the set $(3, 1, -2, -1/2)$ is incorrect.

Set	$(n, l, m_l)$
$A$	$(3, 3, -3)$
$B$	$(3, 2, -2)$
$C$	$(2, 1, +1)$
$D$	$(2, 2, +2)$
