Identify the correct values for a 2p sublevel. A) n = 3, l = 1, m_l = 0 B) n = 2, l = 1, m_l = -2 C) n = 1, l = 0, m_l = 0 D) n = 2, l = 1, m_l = 0 E) n = 4, l = -1, m_l = -2

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct values for a 2p sublevel are n = 2 (since it's a second energy level), l = 1 (since it's a p sublevel), and mS = -1/2 or +1/2 (since it's a sublevel consisting of two orbitals with opposite electron spins, labeled as mS). Choice D has all of the correct values.
