In chemical bonding: Quantum numbers
…consists of three orbitals, called p orbitals; and a d subshell (l = 2) consists of five orbitals, called d orbitals. The individual orbitals are labeled with the magnetic quantum number, m_l, which can take the 2l + 1 values l, l − 1,…, −l. The orbital occupied in the…

In crystal: Covalent bonds
…with n = 1 are p-states, and with n = 2 are d-states. Silver and copper ions have one valence electron outside their closed shells. The outermost filled shell is a d-state and affects the bonding. Eight binary crystals are formed from the copper and silver halides. Three (AgF, AgCl,…
