1 Structure of Atom Easy

Match List-I with List-II regarding quantum numbers and the information they provide.

Pick the matching item from Column II for each row.
Column I
- A. $m_l$ Match for A
- B. $m_s$ Match for B
- C. $l$ Match for C
- D. $n$ Match for D
Column II
- I. shape of orbital
- II. size of orbital
- III. orientation of orbital
- IV. orientation of spin of electron
Correct answer: A → III, B → IV, C → I, D → II

$m_l$ (magnetic quantum number): orientation of orbital $m_s$ (spin quantum number): orientation of spin of electron $l$ (azimuthal quantum number): shape of orbital $n$ (principal quantum number): size of orbital Correct match: A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II.
