Azimuthal quantum number
In the electron configuration of aluminum, the 3p1 electron corresponds to the 3rd energy level (n=3) and is in the p subshell. The second quantum number, also known as the azimuthal quantum number (l), for a p subshell is 1. Therefore, the second quantum number of the 3p1 electron in aluminum is l = 1.
The magnetic quantum number, denoted as m, specifies the orientation of an orbital in space. For an s subshell, which has only one orbital, the orientation is spherically symmetric and there is no preferred orientation in space. Therefore, the magnetic quantum number for an s subshell is always equal to zero.
The principal quantum number of the first d subshell is 3. In the case of d orbitals, they start appearing in the n=3 energy level.
The specific orbital within a sublevel- apex
The quantum number ml = -1 represents the orientation of an electron's orbital in space. It indicates that the orbital is aligned along the y-axis in a three-dimensional coordinate system. This quantum number specifies the specific orientation of the orbital subshell within a given energy level.

The Specific orbital the electron is in
The shape of the electron cloud is determined by the secondary quantum number. The first is n, or the energy level, the second is the sublevel, the third is the specific cloud, and the fourth is the spin.
The second quantum number (angular momentum quantum number) for a 3p electron is 1. This indicates the electron is in the p subshell, which has angular momentum quantum number values of -1, 0, 1.
The type of orbital the electron is in.
The specific orbital the electron is in
The second quantum number (l) describes the shape of an electron's orbital within an atom. It is related to the angular momentum of the electron and determines the subshell in which the electron is located (such as s, p, d, or f orbitals). It ranges from 0 to (n-1), where n is the principal quantum number.
The number of orbitals in a given subshell, such as the 5d subshell, is determined by the number of possible values of the magnetic quantum number. Each orbital in a subshell is designated by a unique set of quantum numbers, including the magnetic quantum number that specifies the orientation of the orbital in space. In the case of the d subshell, there are five possible values for the magnetic quantum number (-2, -1, 0, 1, 2), so there are five orbitals in the 5d subshell.
