$n=2$ and $l=0$

Explanation:

A quick revision,

$n$ is the principle quantum number and takes values =1, 2, 3, ...

$l$ is the azimuthal quantum number and takes the values = 0 to $n-1$

so for;
$n=1$ , $l=0$
$n=2$ ; $l=0, 1$
$n=3$ ; $l=0, 1, 2$ ... and so on.
(here, $0$ stands for $s$ -orbital, $1$ for $p$ -orbital, $2$ is $d$ -orbital and so on)

So, the value of $n$ and $l$ for $2s$ orbital would be
$color(blue)(n=2)$ , (the $2$ from " $2s$ ") and
$color(blue)(l=0)$ (as $0$ represents s-orbital)
