Give the possible values for m_l for a d orbital. A) 0, 1, 2 B) -1, 0, 1 C) 1, 2, 3 D) -2, -1, 0, 1, 2

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For a d orbital, the angular momentum quantum number (l) is equal to 2. The possible values for magnetic quantum number (mS) are given by the formula -l ≤ mS ≤ l, which in this case is -2 ≤ mS ≤ 2. Therefore, the possible values for m_l (which represents the projection of the electron spin angular momentum onto the z-axis) are -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, and option D includes all these values.
