MCQ

The number of possible spatial orientations of an electron in an atom is given by its

A
Spin quantum number
B
Spin angular momentum
✓
Magnetic quantum number
D
Orbital angular momentum

✓

Answer

Correct option: C.

Magnetic quantum number

c
Principal quantum number represents the name, size and energy of the shell to which the electron belongs.

Azimuthal quantum number describes the spatial distribution of electron cloud and angular momentum.(ie. shape of orbital)

Magnetic quantum number describes the orientation or distribution of electron cloud.

Spin quantum number represents the direction of electron spin around its own axis.
