Question

The principal quantum number, n, describes the energy level of a particular orbital as a function of the distance from the center of the nucleus. Additional quantum numbers exist to quantify the other characteristics of the electron. The angular momentum quantum number (l), the magnetic quantum number (ml), and the spin quantum number (ms) have strict rules which govern the possible values. Identify allowable combinations of quantum numbers for an electron. Select all that apply. At least one of your choices is incorrect. See the bottom panel for more information.

Explanation / Answer

although you said that 4th and 5th are correct, I believe that the only correct ones are 2nd and 4th. the L = -2 in 5th is wrong since L cannot be negative. the m(l) = 1 in 6th is wrong also since m(l) has to be 0 when L= 0. Hopefully my explanation is helpful.
