Question

Explain the significance of Azimuthal quantum numbers. Indicate the possible values of l and ml for n = 3. ?

Answer 1

Azimuthal quantum number :- it describe the name of subshell and their shape .
if principal quantum number n then azimuthal quantum numer (n-1)
n=3
means principal quantum number =3
hence, Azimuthal quantum number =3-1=2
and magnetic quantum number =(2l+1)=5
e.g m = -2 , -1 ,0 , +1 , +2
