Magnetic quantum number of "s" is:
Correct answer: D. Zero
- A. One
- B. Three
- C. Five
- D. Zero
Explanation
Since S has no orientation in other axes therefore the magnetic quantum number for S is always zero. P has three orientations, D has five orientations and F has seven orientations.

About Atomic Structure
Atomic structure covers the discovery of the proton, Planck's quantum theory, hydrogen emission spectra and the evidence for quantized energy levels. You will use quantum numbers to describe orbitals, distinguish s, p, d and f orbital shapes, and write electronic configurations, including the correct order of electron filling.
