Correct Answer: n=4, I=3, m=+1, s=+1 / 2


Solution : The correct option is n=4, I=3, m=+1, s=+1 / 2.

The four quantum numbers for an electron in a 4f orbital are:

  1. Principal quantum number (n) = 4.
  2. Azimuthal quantum number (l) = 3.
  3. Magnetic quantum number (m_l) can take values from -3 to +3, including 0.
  4. The spin quantum number (m_s) can be either +1/2 or -1/2.
