Question

What is the smallest acceptable value for the missing quantum number? N = ?,ℓ = 2,m_ℓ = 0,m_s = +1/2 A)3 B)2 C)4 D)5 E)1

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The smallest acceptable value for the missing quantum number (N) can be found by using the formula 
N = ℓ + 1. 
Here, ℓ is given as 2. Therefore, N can be calculated as N = 2 + 1 = 3. Hence, the best choice is A) 3. The other options (B to E) are not correct since they are larger than 3 and will not satisfy the given conditions.
