Answer

Please see the work below.

Work Step by Step

For a sub-shell representation suffix number represents the principal quantum number ‘$n$’. For a principal quantum number ‘n’ , angular momentum quantum number $l$ can have values ranging from 0 to (n-1). For an angular quantum number ‘$l$’ , Magnetic quantum number $m_{l}$ can have values ranging from - $l$ through zero to +$l$ . a) For a 2p orbital, $n$ = 2 Possible values of $l$ are = 0, 1 Where 0 represents s orbital and 1 represents p orbital. So here $l$ = 1 Possible values of $m_{l}$ = -1, 0, +1 b) For a 3s orbital, $n$ = 3 Possible values of $l$ are = 0, 1, 2. Where 0,1, 2 represents s, p, and d orbitals respectively. So here $l$ = 0 Possible value of $m_{l}$ = 0 c) For a 5d orbital, $n$ = 5 Possible values of ‘l’ are = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. Where 0,1, 2, 3, 4 represents s, p, d, f, g and h orbitals respectively. So here l = 2 Possible values of $m_{l}$ = -2, -1, 0, +1, +2.
