Answer :
'n' specifies → (B) The energy and average distance from the nucleus.
'l' specifies → (C) The subshell orbital shape.
'ml' specifies → (A) The orbital orientation.
Explanation :
Principle Quantum Numbers : It describes the size of the orbital. It is represented by n. n = 1,2,3,4....
Azimuthal Quantum Number : It describes the shape of the orbital. It is represented as 'l'. The value of l ranges from 0 to (n-1). For l = 0,1,2,3... the orbitals are s, p, d, f...
Magnetic Quantum Number : It describes the orientation of the orbitals. It is represented as . The value of this quantum number ranges from
. When l = 2, the value of
Spin Quantum number : It describes the direction of electron spin. This is represented as . The value of this is
for upward spin and
for downward spin.
As per question we conclude that,
'n' specifies → The energy and average distance from the nucleus.
'l' specifies → The subshell orbital shape.
'ml' specifies → The orbital orientation.
