Second Quantum Number

[juliaddc]

Can the second quantum number ever be negative?
while looking through one of the final review worksheets I came across a question about whether a specific set of numbers is possible.
the numbers are as follows:
4,-3,-1,-1/2
I know the third number can be negative and I can’t quite remember if that’s the case for the second one as well. I know the second number is pretty much set for each block, but I just want to make sure.

No, the second quantum number l, can not be negative because it is derived from the principal quantum number which is n, and l is n-1, and n will never be 0, so l can not be negative.

No it can not be negative because it cannot have a negative value or be equal to zero. After all, an atom can't have a negative value or no value for a principal shell.
