Hi, I just want to make sure that this is correct. thanks :)
Which of the following is the correct set of quantum numbers for an electron in a 3d orbital ?
a) n = 3 l = 2 ml = −2 ms = +1/2
b) n = 3 l = 2 ml = 3 ms = −1/2
c) n = 2 l = 2 ml = 2 ms = +1/2
d) n = 2 l = 3 ml = −2 ms = +1/2

You're close to the correct answer, but you need to consider what the "3" signifies in the 3d orbital's name.
