Question

What is the maximum number of orbitals that can be associated with this set of quantum numbers: n = 5, l = 3, ms = -1/2?

Answer 1

The maximum number of orbitals allowed in each energy level is n^2.

It means that the maximum number of orbitals allowed in n=5 is 5^2:

`5^2=25`

That means that the maximum number of orbitals associated with the given set is 25 orbitals.
