Question

If the magnetic quantum number me can have 9 possible values, then the orbital quantum number can have x values.The value of x is

Answer 1

At first,

magnetic quantum number (ms)=-L to+L

Here,as it has 9 possible values.

That is ms=-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4

And we know that,

orbital quantum number means n=4 in d subshell

so there can be 4 possible values.

please follow me,
