Spatial orientation of the orbital with respect to standard set of coordinate axis meaning in magnetic quantum number

Open in App

Solution

Hello student,
The spatial orientation of the orbital with respect to the standard set of the coordinate axis is given by Principle Quantum Number.
It is the quantum number which defines the position of an electron in an atom with the energy levels. It is denoted by the letter 'n'.
Therefore, the answer is Principle quantum number.
Regards.
