Quantum Numbers:
n = Principal Quantum Number (average distance of particular shell to nucleus)
l = Angular Momentum Quantum Number (shape of orbital from 0 to (n-1))
0 s , 1 p , 2 d , 3 f , 4 g , 5 h and vice versa
ml = Magnetic Quantum Number (orientation of orbital in space 2l + 1)
If l = 0, ml = 0
`
If l = 1, ml = 2(1) + 1 = 3 -1, 0, 1
If l = 2, ml = 2(2) + 1 = 5 -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 and vice versa
ms = Electron Spin Quantum Number (+ or )
Total number of orbitals for a given number of n is n2
Total number of electrons for a given number of n is 2n2
Shells can also be designated as capital letters (K = 1, L = 2, M = 3 and vice versa)
