The value ml is the magnetic quantum number. The possible ml values follow the equation: -l, +1, +2, +3, +l. The ml’s values represent the orbitals in a subshell which actually contain electrons. Because each orbital (ml) value can contain 2 electrons we can see how many electrons can be contained in a particular orbital subshell. The value ms is called the spin quantum number. ms refers to the electron spin of each electron. This can be +1/2 or -1/2.
