What electron could have quantum numbers n4 i2 mi-2 ms-12?

Answer 1

The provided quantum numbers appear to be inconsistent or incorrect. In quantum mechanics, the principal quantum number ( n ) must be a positive integer, while the azimuthal quantum number ( l ) (denoted as ( i ) in your question) should be an integer where ( 0 \leq l < n ). Additionally, the magnetic quantum number ( m_l ) must range from (-l) to ( l), and the spin quantum number ( m_s ) can only be ( +\frac{1}{2} ) or ( -\frac{1}{2} ). Given that ( i = 2 ) is not a valid azimuthal quantum number for ( n = 4 ) (where ( l ) can only be 0, 1, 2, or 3), and that ( m_s ) is incorrectly given as (-12), the electron described by these quantum numbers does not exist.
