The quantum number which explains about the spacial orientation of orbitals is
- n
- l
- ml
- ms
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
To solve this question, we need to identify which quantum number describes the spatial orientation of orbitals.
1. Types of Quantum Numbers:
- Principal quantum number (n): Indicates the energy level or shell.
- Azimuthal quantum number (ℓ): Describes the shape of the orbital.
- Magnetic quantum number (mℓ): Describes the spatial orientation of orbitals in a magnetic field.
- Spin quantum number (ms): Represents the spin of the electron (either +½ or –½).
2. Correct Quantum Number for Spatial Orientation:
The magnetic quantum number (mℓ) defines the orientation of orbitals in space around the nucleus.
Final Answer:
Option (C) mℓ is correct.
