2024 Structure of AtomQuantum Numbers and Their Significance Easy Question 6 of 62 in Structure of Atom

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

Column I

  • A. $m_l$
  • B. $m_s$
  • C. $l$
  • D. $n$

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

Solution

$m_l$ (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.
