For an electronic state s = 1, and 1 = 1, the number of possible values of total angular momentum of an electronic are _____?

Answer: 3
Explanation
Given the correct understanding of the total angular momentum (J) formula:
J = |l - s| to J = l + s
With s = 1 and l = 1:
J = |1 - 1|, 1, 1 + 1
J = 0, 1, 2
Indeed, there are three possible values of J: 0, 1, and 2.
