Which statement about the quantum numbers that identify an atomic orbital is not correct? A)The magnetic quantum number, m_l, identifies the orientation of the orbital in space. B)The magnetic quantum number can have values that range from to in integer steps. C)An s orbital of any given shell has only one possible m_l value. D)For p orbitals of any given shell, there are five possible m_l values. E)Statements A-D are all correct.
