Question
How many electron states of the $\mathrm{H}$ atom have the quantum numbers $n=3$ and $\ell=1$ ? Identify each state by listing its quantum numbers.
Step 1
n = principal quantum number (n = 1, 2, 3, ...) ℓ = azimuthal quantum number (ℓ = 0, 1, 2, ..., n-1) mℓ = magnetic quantum number (mℓ = -ℓ, -ℓ+1, ..., 0, ..., ℓ-1, ℓ) We are given n = 3 and ℓ = 1. Now we need to find the possible values of mℓ for these given Show more…
