Simply so, what are the possible values of ML for a Subshell with L 1?
3. Magnetic Quantum Number (ml): ml =-l, , 0, , +l. Specifies the orientation in space ofan orbital of a given energy (n) and shape (l). This numberdivides the subshell into individual orbitals which hold theelectrons; there are 2l+1 orbitals in eachsubshell.
Regarding this, how many values of ML are there for an L value of 3?
The s orbital, because the value of ml canonly be 0, can only exist in one plane. The p orbital,however, has three possible values of ml and so it has threepossible orientations of the orbitals, shown by Px, Py, andPz.
The angular momentum quantum number, signified as(l), describes the general shape or region an electronoccupies—its orbital shape. The value of ldepends on the value of the principle quantum numbern. The angular momentum quantum number can have positivevalues of zero to (n − 1).
