MCQs on Quantum Numbers

Quantum Numbers are used to describe the position and energy of electrons in an atom. Atomic orbitals are of different size, energy, shape and orientation. Each orbital can be defined by three quantum numbers, they are principal quantum number (n), azimuthal quantum number (l) and magnetic quantum number (m or ml). The fourth quantum number is known as spin quantum number (s or ms), which tells about the spin of the electron in the orbital.
