The fourth quantum number is the spin quantum number (ms), which can have a value of either +1/2 or -1/2. For the 4p energy sublevel of bromine, which has the electron configuration [Ar] 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁵, one of the electrons in the 4p sublevel can have a spin quantum number of either +1/2 or -1/2, depending on its specific spin orientation. Thus, either value is possible for the spin of an electron in this sublevel.
