Question: ( a ) How many different sets of quantum numbers ( n , l , ml , ms ) are possible for an electron in

(a) How many different sets of quantum numbers (n, l, ml , ms ) are possible for an electron
in the 5f level?
(b) Suppose a certain atom has three electrons in the 3d level. What is the maximum
possible value of the total ms of the three electrons?
(c) What is the maximum possible total ml of three 3d electrons? Assume an external
magnetic field along the Z-axis splits the state, and apply the Aufbau principle. Total ml =
sum of all (ml ). There are two possible answers that I can think of.
(d) Suppose an atom has ten electrons in the 5f level. What is the maximum possible value
of the total ms of the ten 5f electrons?
e) What is the maximum possible total ml of ten 5f electrons?
