For the angular momentum quantum number l=2 , how many possible values are there for the magnetic quantum number (ml)?

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

The general rule is: -l ≤ ml ≤ +l This should help you find the different possible values of ml when l = 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be 3?

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

How many integers are there between -2 and +2, including both of them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

Almost there :) You have forgotten an important integer!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0 haha so 5

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

Great! This is why a d orbital has 5 quantic boxes and can put up 10 electrons.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 2 4 6

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

The rule is: 0 ≤ l ≤ \(n-1\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2?

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

Yes! l can be 0 or 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

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).
