Two electrons occupying the same orbital are distinguished by

1. Principal quantum number
2. Magnetic quantum number
3. Azimuthal quantum number
4. Spin quantum number

Correct answer: Spin quantum number

Solution

Two electrons in the same orbital have the same principal, azimuthal, and magnetic quantum numbers but differ in their spin quantum number, which can be +1/2 or -1/2.
