Which of the following sets of quantum numbers describe valid orbitals? Check all that apply.

n = 1, l = 0, m = 0

n = 2, l = 1, m = 3

n = 2, l = 2, m = 2

n = 3, l = 0, m = 0

n = 5, l = 4, m = - 3

n = 4, l = - 2, m = 2

The set of quantum numbers that describe valid orbitals are: A, D AND E.

An orbital refers to a location inside the atom where an electron can be found and the quantum number is used to describe the location of electrons. The number of electron shells that are present in an atom determines the quantum number of the shell orbitals.
