Question

How many electrons in an atom can share the quantum numbers n= 2, L= 1, and m_L=-1

Answer 1

@ganeshie8

Answer 2

\(n=2, l=1\) specifies the \(2p\) set of orbitals,

\(m_l\) can be +1, 0, -1

each specifies a single orbital in which 2 electrons (max) can go into \(m_s=\pm \dfrac{1}{2}\)
