The quantum numbers provided (n=4, l=2, m_l=-2, m_s=-1/2) describe an electron in a 4d subshell. Here, n=4 indicates the principal energy level, l=2 corresponds to the d-orbital, and m_l=-2 specifies the orientation of the orbital. The spin quantum number m_s=-1/2 indicates that the electron has a spin in the opposite direction to that of another electron in the same orbital. This configuration suggests a specific state for an electron in a 4d orbital of an atom.
