Which of the following sets of quantum numbers is not allowed?
A) n = 4, $\ell$ = 2, and $m _ { \ell }$ = -2
B) n = 6, $\ell$ = 1, and $m _ { \ell }$ = 1
C) n = 5, $\ell$ = 4, and $m _ { \ell }$ = -4
D) n = 2, $\ell$ = 1, and $m _ { \ell }$ = -3
E) n = 6, $\ell$ = 3, and $m _ { \ell }$ = -2

The magnetic quantum number $m _ { \ell }$ must be in the range $-\ell$ to $+\ell$. For $\ell$ = 1, $m _ { \ell }$ can only be -1, 0, or 1, so $m _ { \ell }$ = -3 is not allowed.
