Are 0,1,2,3 values of the orbital quantum number of a 3p electron correct? or is the values 0
I'm not sure of your question. Here are the possible quantum numbers for a 3p electron.
n = 3
l = 1
ml = -1 or 0 or +1
Ms = +1/2 or -1/2
The orbital quantum number, denoted as "l," represents the shape of an atomic orbital. For a "p" orbital, the possible values of the orbital quantum number are -1, 0, or 1. Each value corresponds to a specific orientation of the orbital in space.
So, in the case of a "3p" electron, the possible values of the orbital quantum number can be -1, 0, or 1. Therefore, the values 0, 1, 2, and 3 mentioned in your question are not correct for the orbital quantum number of a 3p electron.
To determine the possible values of the orbital quantum number for a specific electron, we can use the following rule:
For an electron in an energy level "n," the orbital quantum number can have values ranging from -n+1 to n-1. In our case, since we have a "3p" electron, the energy level "n" is 3. Thus, the possible values for the orbital quantum number can range from -2 to 2, which means -2, -1, 0, 1, or 2.
Therefore, the correct values for the orbital quantum number of a 3p electron are -2, -1, 0, 1, and 2.
