Quantum Numbers

Don't flop!! XOXO

What does n,l,m describe?

n,l,and m describes the orbital where electron “lives”

what does the term “m_s “describe?

m_s describes the actual electron

What does quantum number 1 describe? Plz mama give quantum number name, symbol, what it represents, and describes, and values permitted. (ya bbg ik its a lot)

Number: 1

Name: Principle Quantum number

Symbol: n

represents: shell

Describes: orbital energy level and size XDD

values permitted: 1,2,3… n=/=0 silly!!

What does quantum number 2 describe? Plz mama give quantum number name, symbol, what it represents, and describes, and values permitted. (ya bbg ik its a lot)
