dumb ques!Tongue out

all of them are different and represent different properties of an electron in an atom

principle qualtam no. represent energy

azimuthal quantam no...represent momentum

magnetic....represents orientation(direction of momentum)

spin....direction of spin

hey for future i suggest you to study from some proper text-books before posting a question!!

consult pradeep's refrence book for chemistry portions and resnik and haliday for physics portions of quantam mechanics

best of luck!!
