What is the symbol, allowed values, and physical Symbol: n
meaning of the principle quantum number? Allowed values: 1, 2, 3, 4... Any positive integer
Specifies the shell an electron occupies in an atom
What is the symbol, allowed values, and physical Symbol: l
meaning of the secondary (or angular Allowed values: 0 less than equal to l less than equal to n-1
momentum) quantum number? Specifies the shape of the orbital. Also known as the subshell.
What is the symbol, allowed values, and physical Symbol: m sub l (ml)
meaning of the magnetic quantum number? Allowed values: -1 less than or equal to m sub l less than or equal to 1
Specifies the orientation of the orbital. All possible values tell us how
many orbitals are in a subshell.
What is the symbol, allowed values, and physical Symbol: m sub s (ms)
meaning of the spin quantum number? Allowed values: +1/2 or -1/2
Specifies the orientation of the spin axis of an electron
, How do you calculate the maximum number of 2 x n squared
electrons that can occupy a shell?
When l=0 s- subshell
When l=1 p- subshell
When l=2 d- subshell
When l=3 f- subshell
