Q44 / 180 · AIIMS 2003 · Chemistry

The quantum number $m$ of a free gas eous atom is associated with

A
the effective volume of the orbital
B
the shape of the orbital
Correct answer
C
the spatial orientation of the orbital
D
the energy of the orbital in the absence of a magnetic field.

Solution

This quantum number describes the orientation or distribution of electron cloud.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
