4

6

8

Answer 1

That's still a cursive L

Answer 2

would it still be only 2?

Answer 3

like this :

\(\large n = 2\)

\(\large l = 1\)

?

Answer 4

\(m\) ranges from \(-l\) to \(l\), so :

\(m\) = -1, 0, 1

Answer 5

that means 3 values for \(m\)

Answer 6

for each of these values, the spin quantum number can have 2 states : +1/2, -1/2

Answer 7

so total possible electrons with n=2, l=1 are :
3x2 = 6

Answer 8

okay c: so its c!

Answer 9

lol my quiz shut down :/ and i was only able to do it once :P oh well ill have my teacher reset it tommorow .-. then we can do it again :D no go have fun with your math neshie! :D
