Question

(can someone explain the what n, ml and l are) What is the maximum number of electrons in an atom that can have the following set of quantum numbers?
n = 3 l = 2 ml = –2
A)
18
B)
10
C)
5
D)
2
E)
1

Answer 1

Literature about what the quantum numbers represent are all over the internet, you can even look at videos about it on youtube

The answer for this question is 2
\(n = 3~ l = 2~ m_l = –2~m_s=+ \frac{1}{2} \)

and

\(n = 3~ l = 2~ m_l = –2~m_s=- \frac{1}{2} \)

Answer 2
