Question

Which of the following statements on quantum numbers is not correct?
  1. A subshell in an atom can be designated with two quantum numbers n and l
  2. Quantum numbers n, l, m and ms are needed to describe an electron in an atom completely
  3. Quantum numbers n, l, m and ms are obtained by solving the Schrodinger wave quation
  4. The maximum value of l is equal to n - 1 and that of m is +l

A
Quantum numbers n, l, m and ms are needed to describe an electron in an atom completely
B
The maximum value of l is equal to n - 1 and that of m is +l
C
A subshell in an atom can be designated with two quantum numbers n and l
D
Quantum numbers n, l, m and ms are obtained by solving the Schrodinger wave quation
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Schrodinger wave equation give the information about n (principal quantum number),l (angular quantum number) and m (magnetic quantum number) but s (this is called the spin quantum number ) that describe the angular momentum of an electron is given by Wolfgang Pauli.
