The magnetic quantum
number is one of four quantum numbers which are
assigned to each electron in an atom to describe that electron's
state.
The magnetic quantum number (ml) can be any
integer between -l and +l.
Magnetic quantum number specify orientation of electrons in magnetic
field and number of electron states (orbitals) in subshells.
Magnetic quantum number (ml) specifies the orientation in space of an orbital
of a given energy and shape . Magnetic quantum number divides the subshell
into individual orbitals which hold the electrons, there are 2l+1 orbitals in
each subshell.
For 5p orbital electrons:
Principal quantum n = 5.
Angular quantum number l = 1.
Magnetic quantum number ml = -1, 0, +1.
