The Azimuthal quantum number, l, for an s-orbital is 0 and for a p-orbital is 1. The magnetic quantum number, ml, has values of -l to + l. (i) Give the ml value for a 2s orbital. Explain why having only one ml value is consistent with a s-orbital being spherical (ii) Give the three ml values for a 2p orbital. Draw out 3 x,y,z axes as given below and on each draw out one of the three 2p orbitals (px, py and pz) in order to show their relative orientation.
