Which of the following is not permissible arrangement of electrons in an atom?
n = 5, = 3, m = 0, s = + 1/2
n = 3, = 2, m = -3, s = - 1/2
n = 3, = 2, m = -2, s = - 1/2
n = 4, = 0, m = 0, s = - ?
For an electron, n may be 1, 2....and l = 0 to (n - 1) and m = -l to l (including 0) and s = -1/2, +1/2 .
n = 3, l = 2, m = -3, s = - 1/2 is not permissible arrangement of electrons in an atom. because if l = 2 then m can take the value from -2 to +2.
Therefore, the correct option is (2).
