Question : The orientation of an atomic orbital is governed by
Option 1: Principal quantum number
Option 2: Magnetic quantum number
Option 3: Spin quantum number
Option 4: Azimuthal quantum number
Correct Answer: Magnetic quantum number
Solution : The correct option is the Magnetic quantum number .
An atomic orbital's orientation is determined by the magnetic quantum number (ml). The magnetic quantum number controls the spatial orientation or direction of an atomic orbital within an atom's subshell (s, p, d, or f). It describes the many spatial orientations or "orbitals" within a subshell, electrons inhabit diverse areas of space surrounding the nucleus.
