anonymous · Answer

again as in last question i would like you to refer to same book and same page!

anonymous · Answer

n, l, ml, ms
n= 1....
l= from 0 (n-1)
ml= -l ... +l
ms= +1/2 or - 1/2
so now what do you think which answer is right?

anonymous · Answer

-1/2

anonymous · Answer

no!
if n= 3
than
l= 0 , 1, 2 !!!! (n-1 !!!)

anonymous · Answer

if you downloaded that book go to page 283 and there you have a simple table and you will be clear about this! ;)

anonymous · Answer

so It is not possible because, if n is 3 than l is 0 , 1, 2.

anonymous · Answer

yep!

listen to me, i have been known to study 3 days without a sleep and believe me that it will all fall in its place after some sleep! i suggest you to take at least 3-5 hour sleep if you are under pressure and 5-12 hour sleep if you have time cause your brain cant process that much information at a time! only if you have eidetic memory than just continue... ;)
