If "l" is 0 (i.e., if we're looking at the s-shell), what is the range for ml? Can it only be 0 as well?

ml= -l....0....+l
You can only have one quantum number for ml if l=0 which is in agreement with what we know about the s-subshell (only one orbital)

Yes so the only value for ml is 0. Why did you include -1 and 1? I believe that is inaccurate and would apply to an l value of 1.
Right, so it if l=0 then ml must equal 0? I'm basically asking if ml has to be 0 or 1 if l=0. I already know the ranges for all the other l values.

Perfect thanks.
And I think he brought up [-l, +l] range to signify what ml could be if we were not looking at the s-subshell, but rather p, d, or f.
For some reason I thought if l=0, then ml would equal 1. Just had to double-check. Thanks guys.
Sorry..they look alike :/
