How many electrons in an atom can have the quantum numbers:
n=4, l=2, ml=+1, ms=+1/2
These quantum numbers represent the subshell 4d, so would it be 10 electrons ?

Re: Amount of Electrons
Only one electron can have that exact set of 4 quantum numbers, someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but that is how it is with any set of 4 specific quantum numbers/

Re: Amount of Electrons
With this set, you are describing one electron that that 4th shell since you designated every quantum number. The fact that you said the spin was +1/2 is in reference to one electron

With that set, it is definitely only one electron with that set of quantum numbers. Four numbers are always required to describe one specific electron.

Re: Amount of Electrons
These numbers respond to a single electron. Think of it like an ID number each electron has its unique set of quantum numbers.

Re: Amount of Electrons
going off of these ideas can someone clarify me which other electrons could exist?
if the given electron is n=4, l=2, m=1, ms=+1/2
there could be a n=4 l=2 ml=1 ms = -1/2? and these would be paired?
and there could be a n=4 l=2 ml=-1 ms=1/2 and this would be parallel to the original?
want to make sure I'm on the right track
