Q1
Which quantum number determines the orientation of an orbital?
  1. Principal quantum number (n)
  2. Azimuthal quantum number (l)
  3. Magnetic quantum number (m_l)
  4. Spin quantum number (m_s)

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which quantum number determines the orientation of an orbital?
  • Step 1: Understand that orbitals are regions in an atom where electrons are likely to be found.
  • Step 2: Know that quantum numbers are used to describe the properties of these orbitals.
  • Step 3: Identify the different types of quantum numbers: principal, azimuthal, magnetic, and spin.
  • Step 4: Recognize that the magnetic quantum number (m_l) specifically relates to the orientation of the orbital in space.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the magnetic quantum number (m_l) is the one that determines how an orbital is oriented.
