Adam and Eve are contemplating the beauty of the hydrogen atom. Adam claims that the quantum states with a given value of the principal quantum number n can have any value of the orbital quantum number
. Eve says that the Snake told her that a state with a given value of
could have any value of n. Which one, if either, is correct, and why?
A) Adam, because the man is always right.
B) Adam because n ≤
− 1.
C) Eve, because n ≤
− 1.
D) Eve, because
≤ n − 1.
E) Neither, because Adam is wrong and the Snake told a subtle lie.
