Step 1
1 of 3Energy level is defined with the principal quantum number .
Each level has subshells defined with the azimuthal quantum number .
Each subshell has a different number of orbitals, defined with the magnetic quantum number .
Each orbital has two electrons.
So in order to determine the number of electrons, we have to determine the possible values of and .
The azimuthal quantum number can take the following values:
The magnetic quantum number can take the following values:
We can conclude that the azimuthal quantum number can have different values .
Also, the magnetic quantum number can have different values: .
