Allowed values of quantum numbers
Determining Quantum Numbers for a Given Energy Level
Problem: (a) What values of the azimuthal and magnetic quantum numbers are allowed for a principal quantum number of 3? (b) How many orbitals are allowed for n = 3?
Solution: Determining l values:
l takes values from 0 to n–1. For n = 3, l = 0, 1, 2.
