MCQ
An electron has magnetic quantum number as $-3.$ Its principal quantum number can be
  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $2$
  • C
    $3$
  • $4$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$4$
d
$An ^{-}$has magnetic quantum number as $-3$, its principal quantum number is $4$.

When $m =-3,l=3 \quad \therefore n =4$

Note: For a given value of $n, 1$ can have values $0,1,2, \ldots . .(n-1)$ and $m$ can have values $-l, \ldots .-2,-1,0,+1,+2 \ldots+l$.

For $n=4,l$ can have values $0,1,2,3$.

For a given value of $l, m$ can have values $-3,-2,-1,0,+1,+2,+3$.
