(e) 5, 4,- 5, 1/2 is the acceptable set of quantum numbers for an electron in an atom.

In chemistry, electrons in atoms are described by four sets of quantum numbers, and they are as follows:

  1. The principal quantum number (n)
  2. The orbital quantum number (l)
  3. The magnetic quantum number (ml)
  4. The spin quantum number (ms)

The principal quantum number, or n, typically has integer values ranging from 1 to infinity. From 0 through n - 1, the orbital quantum number can have several values. In contrast to the spin quantum number, the magnetic quantum number can take on values ranging from -l to +l.

Putting this to the back of our thoughts, we can clearly see that only the set of quantum numbers 5, 4,- 5, 1/2 meets the requirements outlined above.
