a.) jmax = 3/2 and jmin = 1/2.

b.) jmax = 5/2 and jmin = 1/2.

c.) jmax = 5/2 and jmin = 3/2.

d.) jmax = 7/2 and jmin = 5/2.

e.) jmax = 7/2 and jmin = 1/2.

Explanation / Answer

1.) In the hydrogen atom, how many magnetic orbital quantum numbers (ml) are possible if the principle quantum number, n = 2

L = 0,1

mL = -1,0,1

So, option(d) is correct

2.) In a hydrogen atom (or any other atom), a shell is defined those state which all have the same...

d.) principle quantum number.

3.) What is the magnitude of the orbital angular momentum of an electron that as an orbital quantum number equal to 3?

b.) 3h/2

4.) Following Example Problem 36.3, (a) what would be the largest and smallest possible value for the total angular momentum, j, of Hydrogen in the l = 3 state, respectively?

J max = 3+(1/2) = 7/2

J min = 3-(1/2) = 5/2

d.) jmax = 7/2 and jmin = 5/2.
