Question

Differencesbetween principal quantum no, azimuthal quantum no, magnetic quantum no and electron spin.(ANY6 points).

Answer 1

Principal quantum number (n) represents the main shell (energy level) of the electron in an atom.

Azimuthal quantum number (l) represents the sub-shell of the main shell in which the electron is present in an atom

Magnetic quantum number (m_l) represents the orbital/orbitals in a sub-shell where an electron is likely to be found.

Spin quantum number (m_s) represents the spin of the electron [upwards(+1/2) or downwards (-1/2)].
