- Which of the following statements is incorrect?
A) | The set of quantum numbers n = 3, l = 2, ml = 0, ms = is not permitted because ml = 0. |
B) | The set of quantum numbers n = 2, l = 2, ml = 1, ms = is not permitted because n = l. |
C) | The set of quantum numbers n = 3, l = 2, ml = 1, ms = is permitted. |
