Question

what are the possible ml values for l=4?

plz explain it a bit ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

For n

th

orbital possible values of azimuthal quantum number, l are from 0 to (n−1). Total of n values.

In 4f orbital, n=4 and f-orbital has l=3

Magnetic quantum number m

l

have values from −l to +l and total of 2l+1 values.

For l=3 total; values of m

l

are 7 and are:

For l=3,m

l

=−3−2,−1,0,1,2,3
