Homework Statement
n = 3
Using the fact that there are two quantum states for each value of l and m because of electron spin. Find the total number of electron states with n = 3.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I've already determined that l = 0, 1, 2
and m = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2
So, given the information I figured it would be 8 * 2 = 16 quantum states.
Unfortunately, it's supposed to be 18 quantum states and I fail to see where they pick up 2 extra ones. Does anyone know what I am doing incorrectly?
