The electrons in each element are characterized by ____ different quantum numbers.
A
5
B
6
C
3
D
4
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each electron in an atom is described by four different quantum numbers. The first three (n, l, ml) specify the particular orbital of interest, and the fourth (ms) specifies how many electrons can occupy that orbital.

Detailed explanation-2: -In atoms, there are a total of four quantum numbers: the principal quantum number (n), the orbital angular momentum quantum number (l), the magnetic quantum number (ml), and the electron spin quantum number (ms).

Detailed explanation-3: -The Pauli Exclusion Principle states that, in an atom or molecule, no two electrons can have the same four electronic quantum numbers. As an orbital can contain a maximum of only two electrons, the two electrons must have opposing spins.

Detailed explanation-4: -Introduction. There are four quantum numbers (n, l, ml, ms). No two electrons in the same atom can have the same four quantum numbers. Each quantum number describes a different aspect of the electron and its orbital.

Detailed explanation-5: -Quantum numbers are values that describe the energy or energetic state of an atom’s electron. The numbers indicate an electron’s spin, energy, magnetic moment and angular moment.
