An electron in an atom has the following set of quantum numbers: n = 4, l = 3, ml = +1, ms = + ½. An impossible quantum number set for a second electron in this atom is .....
n = 4, l = 2, ml = - 3, m s = + ½.
n = 3, l = 1, ml = - 1, m s = - ½.
n = 4, l = 1, ml = 0, m s = + ½.
or
n = 2, l = 0, ml = 0, ms = - ½.
If you could explain, i would appreciate it!

The 1st set is impossible in any atom,
because "ml" must not exceed "l" in absolute value.
Since |-3| > 2, the first set is no good.
