Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The value of qnuc for 6Li atoms is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Different linearly independent wavefunctions that have same energy are called degenerate. This is expressed in terms of degeneracy. If two functions are having same energy then they are called doubly degenerate and so on. The degeneracy for nuclear state is given as,

g1=2I+1

Where,

I represents the nuclear spin.

(b)

Interpretation:

I understand that n is the energy level, l is the type of orbital (s,p,d,f) and how ms is related to the spin; but what about ml ? I know its equal to -l to +l; however, what does having a specific ml value mean?
What is the number of possible orientation for a nucleus with spin quantum number 1 ?
How can i calculate value of nuclear spin(I)? Why 11B’s I is 3/2 ?
