A. 3

B. 5

C. 6

D. 2

E. 4

B. 5

Explanation:

The magnetic quantum number is used in describing the actual orientation of orbitals in space. The name 'magnetic quantum number' was coined because it describes the effect of different orientations of orbitals which was initially observed in the presence of an external magnetic field.

The d orbital can exhibit five orientations corresponding to five values of the magnetic quantum number, these are; -2,-1,0,1,2 hence the answer above.

it should be p1 v1 = p2 v2
