Remember the order,.

n: energy level

l: subshell

ml: number of orbitals in the subshell.

ms: electron spin.

The first numbers (n) of both the electrons are the same, but the only difference is the second number (l). The first electron has l=2, indicating that the electron is in the "d" subshell. On the other hand, the second electron has l=1, indicating that the electron is in the "p" subshell.

*Remember*

l=0 (s) spherical shape

l=1 (p) peanut shaped

l=2 (d) clover
