Which of the following statements concerning the quantum numbers are correct?

o Azimuthal quantum number or l is the orbital angular momentum value of a certain orbital. And it defines the 3-D shape of an orbital by introducing the concept of angular momentum.


Spin quantum number ms is the value of spin angular momentum of an electron as electron rotates around its axis (also revolves around nucleus, like earth revolving sun ) , therefore beside of having charge and mass an electron also has a certain orientation of the spin relative to the chosen axis which gives rise to the concept of spin angular quantum number (ms).


Other 2 options


(ii) The principal quantum number determines the orientation and energy of the orbital (principal quantum number only can determine the size and energy to a large extent of the orbital, not orientation because the spin quantum number does that ) and


(iii) The magnetic quantum number determines the size of the orbital (ml determines the spatial orientation of an orbital among the chosen coordinate axes) are wrong.
