Question

How many different 3d states does the hydrogen atom have?

Answer 1

An electron in a hydrogen atom would have 10 states for a 3d orbital, like any other element.

n = 3, l = 2, in one of ml = 2, 1, 0, -1, -2 each with ms = -½ or +½ or a total of 10 possible states.

None of these are a ground state of an electron in the hydrogen atom.
