When you have mL = 7, this means you have 2(L)+1 orbitals, so 15.

Each orbital contains 2 electrons, but since only +1/2 was specified, you don't multiply 15 by 2 as you would otherwise.

I'm going to say the answer is 15.

What grade or post-secondary level are you studying? Some of these are hard! Grinning Face with Smiling Eyes
