The four quantum numbers that designate an electron in a 3p orbital are:

  1. Principal quantum number (n): 3
  2. Angular momentum quantum number (l): 1 (for p orbitals)
  3. Magnetic quantum number (m_l): -1, 0, or +1 (indicating the orientation of the p orbital)
  4. Spin quantum number (m_s): +1/2 or -1/2 (indicating the electron's spin direction).

Thus, the quantum numbers can be expressed as (3, 1, m_l, m_s), with m_l being one of the three possible values and m_s being either +1/2 or -1/2.
