l is the number that is connected to the total angular momentum of the electron:

L^2 = l(l+1)*hbar

Tha possible values for l are: l = 0,1,...,n-1

ml is the qyuantum number that is associated with the projection of the angular momentum vector on teh z axis:

Lz = m*hbar

ml can attain the following ...
