NEET Chemistry Quantum Numbers MCQ Question with Solution

Which of the following sets of quantum numbers represents the highest energy of an atom?

A

n = 3, l = 0, m = 0, s = +1/2

B

n = 3, l = 1, m = 1, s = +1/2

C

n = 3, l = 2, m = 1, s = +1/2

D

n = 4, l = 0, m = 0, s = +1/2

Option D

The principal quantum number (n) determines the energy level, with higher n indicating higher energy.
