Question.
An electron is in one of the $3 d$ orbitals. Give the possible values of $n, I$ and $m_{1}$ for this electron.
An electron is in one of the $3 d$ orbitals. Give the possible values of $n, I$ and $m_{1}$ for this electron.
Solution:
For the $3 d$ orbital:
Principal quantum number $(n)=3$
Azimuthal quantum number $(I)=2$
Magnetic quantum number $\left(m_{i}\right)=-2,-1,0,1,2$
For the $3 d$ orbital:
Principal quantum number $(n)=3$
Azimuthal quantum number $(I)=2$
Magnetic quantum number $\left(m_{i}\right)=-2,-1,0,1,2$
