Recall that the angular momentum quantum number \(l\) depends on the principal quantum number \(n\) and can take integer values starting from 0 up to \(n-1\).
Write the general allowed values of \(l\) as: \(l = 0, 1, 2, \ldots, (n-1)\).
Substitute the given principal quantum number \(n = 5\) into the expression to find the allowed \(l\) values.
Calculate the range of \(l\) values: \(l = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4\).
Conclude that the allowed values of \(l\) for \(n=5\) are exactly \$0, 1, 2, 3, 4$.
