hello all, I'm studying the quantum mechanics aspect of chemistry, and we're at the quantum properies of atoms. I see that there are four:
n - representing the shell number in which the electron resides
l - tells you the "subshell" of the n shell where the electron resides
m(l) - tells you the orbital of the subshell
m(s) - tells you the spin orientation of the electron
so what exactly is the difference between l and m(l), that is the subshell and the orbital? can someone link me a site that has pics or even video demonstrating this? my textbook sucks because it doesn't have any visual explanations of what these are. It's like studying a textbook on music theory and the only pictures in it are of musicial instruments! very frustrating
anyway, thank you!
