The rho^- meson has a charge of -e, a spin quantum number of 1, and a mass 1 $07

Question

The rho^- meson has a charge of -e, a spin quantum number of 1, and a mass 1 $07 times that of the electron. The possible values for its spin magnetic quantum number are -1, 0, and 1. Imagine that the electrons in atoms are replaced by rho^- mesons. Select all of the following which are possible sets of quantum numbers (n, l, m_l, s, m_s) for rho^- mesons in the 3d subshell. (3, 2, 1/2, 1, -1) (3, 2, 0, 1, -1) (3, 2, 0, 1, 1) (3, 2, -2, 1, 0) (3, 2, 2, 1, -1) (2, 2, 0, 1, 1) What is the total number of states?

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

The computed answers are expressed below,

Answer is Option (A) (3,2,1/2,1,-1)

As the 3d subshell electrons are replaced with mesons hence no 0 spin been observed by eliminating the options A has been chosen as reasonable choice.
