An orbital is described with the help of a wave function. Since many wave functions are possible for an electron, there are many atomic orbitals. When atom is placed in a magnetic field the possible number of orientations for an orbital of azimuthal quantum number 3 is

A. three

B. two

C. five

D. seven

Answer : seven

Solution :
When $$l$$ = 3, as $${m_l} \simeq \left( {2l + 1} \right) = 7$$
