Magnetic Quantum number determines

  1. A
    Shape of orbitals
  2. B
    Orientation of orbitals
  3. C
    Total energy of an orbital
  4. D
    Spin of an electron

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The four quantum numbers describe electrons in an atom:Principal Quantum Number (): Determines the size and total energy of an orbital.Azimuthal Quantum Number (): Determines the shape of the orbital.Magnetic Quantum Number (): Determines the spatial orientation of the orbitals relative to a coordinate system.Spin Quantum Number (): Determines the spin direction of an electron.
