Which combinations of quantum numbers, $\mathrm{n}, l$, $\mathrm{m}$ and $\mathrm{s}$ for the electron in an atom does not provide a permissible solution of the wave equation?

Possible values of $l$ and $\mathrm{m}$ depend upon the value of $\mathrm{n}$
$l=0$ to $(n-1)$
$\mathrm{m}=-l$ to $+l$ through zero
$\mathrm{s}=+\frac{1}{2}$ and $-\frac{1}{2}$
Thus for $\mathrm{n}=3$
$l$ may be 0,1 or $2 ;$ but not 3
m may be $-2,-1,0,+1$ or $+2$
$\mathrm{s}$ may $\mathrm{be}+\frac{1}{2}$ or $-\frac{1}{2}$
