Answer 2

Explanation:

There are 4 quantum numbers in total:

1. Principle Quantum Numbers: This quantum number describes the size of the orbital. It is represented by n. n = 1,2,3,4....

2. Azimuthal Quantum Number: This quantum number describes the shape of the orbital. It is represented as 'l'. The value of l ranges from 0 to (n-1). For l = 0,1,2,3... the orbitals are s, p, d, f...

3. Magnetic Quantum Number: This quantum number describes the orientation of the orbitals. It is represented as $m_l$. The value of this quantum number ranges from $(-l\text{ to }+l)$. When l = 2, the value of $m_l$ will be -2, -1, 0, +1, +2.

4. Spin Quantum number: This quantum number describes the direction of electron spin. This is represented as $m_s$ The value of this is $+\frac{1}{2}$ for upward spin and $-\frac{1}{2}$ for downward spin.

The quantum number used to describe shape is known as Azimuthal Quantum number and the quantum number used to describe the orientation of orbital is known as Magnetic Quantum Number.
