1. List all the possible values of total angular momentum for the following
1. 3P
2. 2D
j = s + l
is this problem as simple as, for 1.
for 3p, n = 3, l = 0,1,2
since it's a p orbital, l = 1
thus j = l + s, all possible values are 3/2, and 1/2
but for 2d, i just don't know... is this theoretical? there are no d orbitals at the n = 2 level right? or am i misinterpretting the symbols?
