If n = 5, how many electrons can have `m_(l) = +1`?

Answer» When n = 5, l = 0, 1, 2 , 3 and 4
When l = 0, `m != +1`
When l = 1, 2, 3, or 4, in each case, there is one orbital which has `m_(l) = +1`
`(l = 1, m = -1, 0 +1, l = 2, m = -2, -1, 0 +1, +2`, etc)
Hence, there are four orbitals which will have `m_(l) = +1`
EAch orbital can have maximum two electrons.
Hence, electrons with n = 5 and `m_(l) + 1` will be 8
