3. An electron in a hydrogen atom is in the M shell (so n=3). A) What is the smallest orbital angular momentum this electron could have? B) What is the largest orbital angular momentum this electron could have? C) What is the maximum orbital angular momentum that could be measured in any particular direction? (This isn't a repeat of (B))! D) How many orbital angular momentum states could this electron have?
