Correct answer: D. All of these
- A. Shape
- B. Energy
- C. Position
- D. All of these
Explanation
Inorder to solve this question, candidate first must know the basic definition of Quantum number and following that, he/she must know what specific quantum numbers describe. Quantum numbers are a set of numbers or numerical values, that are used to describe the position, shape and energy of electron in an atom.

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.
