Explanation / Answer

Each electron has a set of four numbers, called quantum numbers, that specify it completely; no two electrons in the same atom can have the same four. That's a more precise statement of the Pauli exclusion principle.

Primary quantum number, which is given the symbol n,n tells you which of the "main" energy levels you're in.
The second quantum number is known as l. A value of l=0 corresponds to s, l=1 is p, l=2 is d, and so forth.
The third is magnetic quantum number m. l, along with n and the third quantum number, m, is responsible for determining the shape of an electron's probability cloud.
The fourth quantum number, s, does indeed pertain to an electron's spin. s only has two possible values+1/2 or-1/2.s= +1/2 means "spin up" and s= -1/2 means "spin down."

Principle Quantum Number (n) which has values from n = 1, 2 ,3, 4, ... and so on
Orbital Quantum Number (L) which has values from 0, 1, 2, 3, ... to a maximum of n-1
Magnetic Quantum Number (m sub L) which can have values ranging from -L, -L+1, ... L
Spin Quantum Number (m sub s) which can have values -1/2 or +1/2.

So, from all these conditions we conclude that answer are 1, 2 and 7 (3 out of 8).
