Question

The principal quantum number , n of an atomic orbital is 5. What are the possible values of l?
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

For any principal quantum no n

l(azimuthal quantum number) can take values from 0 upto n-1

Therefore

For n=5

l= 0,1,2,3,4

Hope it helps you :)

Answer 2

Answer

Any integer between -l and +l is the probable values of magnetic quantum number. For s subshell the l = 0, then ml is zero. For p subshell the l = 1, then ml = −1, 0 , +1. Spin Quantum Number( ms): It refers to direction of spin of an electron in an orbital.
