Question
(I) How many electrons can be in the $n=6, \quad l=3$ subshell?
Step 1
The magnetic quantum number can take integer values from $-l$ to $+l$. So, for $l=3$, the possible values of $m_l$ are $-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3$. This gives us a total of $2l+1 = 2*3+1 = 7$ possible values of $m_l$. Show more…
