I read in quantum mechanics section, near the end:
The Magnetic Quantum Number (ml) describes which orientation a subshell (electron cloud shape) has. Subshells may assume as many different orientations as the subshell number (l) plus 1, and each unique orientation is called an orbital. These numbers are integers ranging from the negative value of the subshell number (l) through 0 to the positive value of the subshell number.
Shouldn't it be:
(...) Subshells may assume as many different orientations as {2 times} the subshell number (l) plus 1 {=2*l+1}, (...)
E.g. l=1 => ml=-1,0,1 so l=1 has 3 orientations
