Question

Wave functions describe orbitals in a hydrogen atom. Each function is characterized by 3 quantum numbers: n, l, and ml.
If the value of n = 4:
... The quantum number l can have values from  to .
... The total number of orbitals possible at the n = 4 energy level is .

If the value of l = 2:
... The quantum number ml can have values from  to .
... The total number of orbitals possible at the l = 2 sublevel is .
