Solution

The magnetic quantum number specifies (c) Orientation of orbitals.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. The magnetic quantum number is one of the four quantum numbers that state the characteristics of an electron in an atom.

  2. It is denoted by 'm' or 'ml'.

  3. This quantum number determines the orientation of the orbital in space relative to the other orbitals in the atom.

  4. Therefore, it does not specify the size of the orbitals (option a), the shape of the orbitals (option b), or the nuclear stability (option d).

  5. So, the correct answer is (c) Orientation of orbitals.
