Two electrons occupying the same orbital are distinguished by:

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

Solution

Two electrons occupying the same orbital will have the same principal quantum number, same magnetic quantum number, and same azimuthal quantum number but they always have the different spin quantum numbers. If one electron has the clockwise rotation then other electron will have anticlockwise rotation.
