Answer

There are $~~5~~~$ possible values of $~~m_l$

Work Step by Step

For any value of $n$, the values of $l$ can be $~~~l = 0, 1, 2,...,(n-1)$ When $n=3$, then the values of $l$ can be $~~~l = 0, 1, 2$ For any given value of $l$, the values of $m_l$ can be $~~m_l = 0, \pm 1, \pm 2,...,\pm l$ If $l=2$, then the values of $m_l$ can be $~~m_l = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2$ There are $~~5~~~$ possible values of $~~m_l$
