n = 7, l = 2, ml = 1, ms = –1/2
C
n = 9, l = 1, ml = – 2, ms = +1/2
D
n = 3, l = 0, ml = +3, ms = +1/2
E
n = 4, l = 2, ml = –2, ms = +1
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the quantum numbers: n (principal quantum number), l (azimuthal quantum number), ml (magnetic quantum number), and ms (spin quantum number).
Check the principal quantum number (n): It must be a positive integer (n = 1, 2, 3, ...).
Verify the azimuthal quantum number (l): It must be an integer ranging from 0 to n-1.
Check the magnetic quantum number (ml): It must be an integer ranging from -l to +l.
Verify the spin quantum number (ms): It can only be +1/2 or -1/2.
