What Are The Possible Values Of ML For Each Value Of L?

by | Last updated on January 24, 2024

, , , ,

l values can be integers from 0 to n-1; ml can be integers from -l through

0 to + l

. For n = 3, l = 0, 1, 2 For l = 0 ml = 0 For l = 1 ml = -1, 0, or +1 For l = 2 ml = -2, -1, 0, +1, or +2 There are 9 ml values and therefore 9 orbitals with n = 3.

What are the possible ML values of an L value of 3?

When l = 3 (f-type orbitals), m

l

can have values of

–3, –2, –1, 0, +1, +2, +3

, and we can have seven 4f orbitals.

What are the ML values of L 2?

Therefore, given l=2 , the possible ml values are

−2,−1,0,1,2

. This tells us that the d subshell contains five d orbitals, each with a different orientation ( dyz , dxy , dxz , dx2−y2 , and dz2 ).

What is the value of ML if L 0?

1 Expert Answer

m

l

goes from -l to +l so if

l = 0, m

l

can only be 0

. The number of orbitals will be 1, but the value of m

l

will be 0.

What are the possible values of ML when L 1?

If we look at l, the only possible values of ml are

-1, 0 and +1

.

What values of ML are possible for L 4?


Nine values

of ml are possible for an electron with orbital quantum number l = 4.

What is the shape of orbital if the value of L 2?

Orbitals have shapes that are best described as spherical (l = 0), polar (l = 1), or

cloverleaf

(l = 2). They can even take on more complex shapes as the value of the angular quantum number becomes larger.

What is the 3rd quantum number?

We therefore need a third quantum number, known as

the magnetic quantum number (m)

, to describe the orientation in space of a particular orbital. (It is called the magnetic quantum number because the effect of different orientations of orbitals was first observed in the presence of a magnetic field.)

What are the values of n and l for 4f orbital?

For a 4f orbital, the

principal quantum number is n = 4

, the azimuthal quantum number is 3. The values of magnetic quantum numbers will be -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3. Total 7 orbitals are present in 4f subshell.

What are the L values?

The value of l ranges

from 0 to n − 1

because the first p orbital (l = 1) appears in the second electron shell (n = 2), the first d orbital (l = 2) appears in the third shell (n = 3), and so on.

When N 4 and L 2 What are the allowed values of ML?

For n = 4, only two values for l can allow ml to take the value 2,

l=2 and l=3

.

When N 3 and L 1 What are the possible values of ML?

Follow the rules for allowable quantum numbers found in the text. l values can be integers from 0 to n-1; ml can be integers from -l through 0 to + l. For n = 3, l = 0, 1, 2 For

l = 0 ml = 0 For l = 1 ml = -1, 0

, or +1 For l = 2 ml = -2, -1, 0, +1, or +2 There are 9 ml values and therefore 9 orbitals with n = 3.

When N 2 and L 1 What are the allowed values of ML?

When n = 1, l= 0 (l takes on one value and thus there can only be one subshell) When n = 2,

l= 0, 1

(l takes on two values and thus there are two possible subshells)

What is the L quantum number for a 4s orbital?

n l Orbital Name 4 0 4s 1 4p 2 4d 3

4f

What is the electron configuration chart?

The electron configuration of an atom of any element is the of electrons per sublevel of the energy levels of an atom in its ground state. This handy chart compiles the electron configurations of the elements up through number 104.
