WILL FAN AND MEDAL

For the quantum number lower case L= 1, how many possible values are there for the quantum number m subscript?

Select one:
a. 5
b. 3
c. 2
d. 1

Answer 1

@simplymarie_x remember, when we have a number for l, mL can be any number from -l to positive l

so in the case of l = 1

mL can be -1,0,1

hence there are three possible orientations as I would call it.
