Answer:
Explanation:
[tex]m_l[/tex] is the magnetic quantum number.
The only possible value for the magnetic quantum number for an electron in an s orbital is 0.
The first three quantun numbers are:
This quantum number is related to the type (or shape) of the orbital:
For s orbitals [tex]l=0[/tex]
For p orbitals [tex]l=1[/tex]
For d orbitals [tex]l=2[/tex]
For f orbitals [tex]l=3[/tex]
In this case, it is an s orbital, so we have [tex]l=0[/tex].
Since, for the s orbitals [tex]l=0[/tex] , the only possible value for [tex]{m_l}[/tex] is zero.
