A. Principal quantum number
B. Azimuthal quantum number
C. Spin quantum number
D. Magnetic quantum number.
The correct option is : (d) magnetic quantum number
Explanation :
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. Magnetic quantum number describes the orientation or distribution of electron cloud. Spin quantum number represents the direction of electron spin around its own axis.
