Question

what is the significance of magnetic quantum number? use ml from l=1 to illustrate your answer

Answer 1

Answer:

The magnetic quantum number  ml  determines the number of orbitals and their orientation within a subshell. Consequently, its value depends on the orbital angular momentum quantum number  l . Given a certain  l ,  ml  is an interval ranging from  –l  to  +l , so it can be zero, a negative integer, or a positive integer.

ml = −l , (−l+1) , (−l+2) , … , −2 , −1 , 0 , 1 , 2 , …(l–1) , (l–2) , +l
