The problem provides you with a complete set of quantum numbers and asks you to find an electron that can be described using those quantum numbers.
In your case, the principal quantum number,
n
=
2
, is used to describe an electron located on the second energy level.
The angular momentum quantum number,
l
, essentially tells you the subshell in which the electron resides. The values of the
l
quantum number correspond to
l
=
0
→
the s-subshell
l
=
1
→
the p-subshell
l
=
2
→
the d-subshell
l
=
3
→
the f-subshell
In your case, the value
l
=
1
means that your electron is located in the p-subshell, more specifically, in the 2p-subshell.
The magnetic quantum number,
m
l
, tells you the exact orbital in which the electron is located.
The p-subshell contains a total of three orbitals, by convention assigned as
m
l
=
−
0
→
the
2
p
z
orbital
m
l
=
−
1
→
the
2
p
y
orbital
m
l
=
+
1
→
the
2
p
x
orbital
In your case,
m
l
=
0
, which means that your electron is located in the
2
p
z
orbital
Finally, the spin quantum number,
m
s
, which tells you the spin of the electron, can only have two possible values,
−
1
2
for spin-down and
+
1
2
for spin-up.
You can thus say that the quantum number set given to you describes an electron
located on the second energy level
→
n
=
2
located in the 2p-subshell
→
l
=
1
located in the
2
p
z
orbital
→
m
l
=
0
that has spin-up
→
