For the angular momentum quantum number l=2 , how many possible values are there for the magnetic quantum number (ml)?
The general rule is: -l ≤ ml ≤ +l This should help you find the different possible values of ml when l = 2.
would it be 3?
How many integers are there between -2 and +2, including both of them?
4
Almost there :) You have forgotten an important integer!
0 haha so 5
Great! This is why a d orbital has 5 quantic boxes and can put up 10 electrons.
got it thank you! can you help me with this one? For the principal quantum number n=2, how many possible values are there for the angular momentum quantum number (l)?
1 2 4 6
The rule is: 0 ≤ l ≤ \(n-1\)
2?
Yes! l can be 0 or 1
thanks
yw :)
do you know this one? Explain what each quantum number in a quantum number set tells you about the electron. Compare and contrast the locations and properties of two electrons within an atom that have the quantum number sets (3, 2, -1, +½) and (3, 1, -1, +½).
