Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the quantum mechanical model of the hydrogen atom, the magnetic quantum number (m) can have 2ℓ + 1 permitted values, where ℓ is the orbital angular momentum quantum number. This means that there are 2ℓ + 1 possible orientations of the orbital in space, which corresponds to the number of permitted magnetic quantum numbers. Therefore, the correct answer is C, 2ℓ + 1.
