For n = 4, what are the possible values of l?

Understand the Problem

The question is asking about the possible values of the quantum number l for a given principal quantum number n. For n = 4, l can take values from 0 to n-1, that means l can be 0, 1, 2, or 3.

Answer

0, 1, 2, and 3

The final answer is 0, 1, 2, and 3

Answer for screen readers

The final answer is 0, 1, 2, and 3

More Information

For the principal quantum number (n) equal to 4, the azimuthal quantum number (l) can take on four possible values: 0, 1, 2, and 3. These values correspond to the s, p, d, and f subshells respectively.

Tips

A common mistake is to confuse the range of possible l values with other quantum numbers such as the magnetic quantum number (ml) or the spin quantum number (ms).
