An electron is known to be in the n = 4 shell and the l = 2 subshell. How many possible combinations of quantum numbers could this electron have?

D. There is not enough information to answer the question.
B: The amino acid in question is aspartic acid, which is an acidic amino acid because it contains an extra carboxyl group.
