"That never,ever had a possibility of happening in my experience at U.C.L.A.

So if we say that l is just talking about our kinetic energy part, our rotational kinetic energy, and we know that electrons have potential energy, then it makes sense that l, in fact, can never go higher than n.

如果我们说，l仅仅是,描述动能项，我们的旋转动能，我们知道，电子有势能，所以可以理解，l不能比n高。

So since it's a component of the angular momentum, that means that it's never going to be able to go higher than l is, so it makes sense that, for example, it could start at and then l go all the way up to l.

因为，它是，角动量的分量，这意味着，它不会，比l大，这是很容易理解的，比如说，它可以从零开始,一直到。
