Question

Which statement about the quantum mechanical solution for the hydrogen atom is incorrect?​

A) the angular momentum quantum number l = 1 corresponds to the d sub shell

B) theoretically the n quantum number can go to infinity

C) the ms quantum number is always a fraction

D) the ml quantum number can have a positive or negative value

Answer 1

A) the angular momentum quantum number l = 1 corresponds to the d sub shell

Step-by-step explanation:

The values of the subsidiary, azimuthal or orbital quantum number l are 0,1,2,3 corresponding to s, p, d,f.

This implies that;

when l= 0 we have the s subshell

when l=1 we have the p subshell

when l= 2 we have the d subshell

when we have l=3 we have the f subshell

We can clearly see from this analysis above that option A is wrong.
