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

    A) \[n=4,\,l=0,m=0,\,s=+\frac{1}{2}\]

    B)         \[n=3,\,l=1,m=1,\,s=+\frac{1}{2}\]

    C)        \[n=3,\,l=2,m=-2,\,s=+\frac{1}{2}\]

    D)        \[n=3,\,l=0,m=0,\,s=+\frac{1}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[(n+l)\] value decides the energy level of an atom. For highest energy level \[(n+l)\] value should be maximum. Hence, correct option is (c).
