Which of the following sets of quantum numbers (n, l, m, ms) is possible for a 5f electron? 0 4,3,0,-
O 5,3,0,-
O 5, 3, +4,- 42
O 5, 2, 0, - 42
O 5,3,0,0

The possible quantum numbers for 5f are :

Each orbital in an atom consists of 4 quantum numbers  

n is the principal quantum number ---> describes the size of the orbitals  

l is the angular momentum / azimuthal quantum number -> describes the shape of the orbitals.  

ml, the magnetic quantum number -> describes the orientation of orbitals in space  

ms, the electron-spin quantum number ---> describes the spin of electrons  

Value of n: positive integer  

value of l: s = 0, p = 1, d = 2, f = 3, ... (n-1)  

ml value: between -l to + l  

ms value: +1/2 or -1/2  

So the possible quantum numbers for 5f are :

Because the answer choices are not very clear, please see the composition I have described above

i'm pretty sure its b i might be wrong though!

the positions which points up in upward carbon and down in downward carbon are axial

and vice versa holds true for equatorial positions

so the correct answer with labelled diagram will be
