How many possible values of ms can there be in an atom with n = 3?

Given: Molybdenum has a BCC crystal structure, an atomic radius of 0.1363 nm, and an atomic weight of 95.64 g/mol. Required:   Calculate the theoretical density of molybdenum. Compare your calculated density to the experimentally measured density of 10.22 g/cm3.

To obtain the most precise value of BE from the equation BE=[ZM(1H)+ Nmn]c2 − m(AX)c2 , we should take into account the binding energy of the electrons in the neutral atoms. Will doing this produce a larger or smaller value for BE? Why is this effect usually negligible?
