Question

Which of the following set of quantum numbers represents the highest energy of an atom ?
A. `n=3, l=0, m=0, s=+1/2`
B. `n=3, l=1, m=1, s=+1/2`
C. `n=3, l=2, m=1, s=+1/2`
D. `n=4, l=0, m=0, s=+1/2`

Answer 1

Correct Answer - 3
The electron have `n+1` higher value have higher energy.
`{:(n,+,l,=,3,+,0,=,3,,),(n,+,l,=,3,+,1,=,4,,),(n,+,l,=,3,+,2,=,5,,("highest energy")),(n,+,l,=,4,+,0,=,4,,):}`
