What is minimum value of ' n ' possible for an electron having : $m = - 3$ and $s = - \frac{1}{2}$ ?

Answer:

Solution:

The magnetic quantum number, $m$ , ranges from $- l$ to $+ l$ . Given $m = - 3$ , the minimum value for the azimuthal quantum number, $l$ , must be 3. For $l = 3$ , the minimum principal quantum number, $n$ , is $l + 1$ . Thus, $n = 3 + 1 = 4$ .
