HEY THERE!!

For a given principal quantum number or n, the corresponding angular quantum number or l is equivalent to a range between 0 and (n-1) .

This means that the angular quantum number for a principal quantum number of 2 is equivalent to:

l = 0 -> (n-1) = 0 -> (2-1) = 0 -> 1

So the answer is 0, 1

HOPE IT HELPED YOU.

Answer:

The possible values are l={0,1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,the possible values that the Azimuthal number (l) are given by the value of the Principal quantum number (n) of the atomic level you are in:


l=[0;n-1]

In this case:

For
n=2 \longrightarrow n-1=2-1=1 so l values will be 0 and 1

This different values the Azimuthal numbar can have, determine the different types of sublevels that atomic level has.

For example:

  • l=0 is sublevel s
  • l=1 is sublevel p
  • l=2 is sublevel d
