each electron in an atom is described by four different quantum numbers. The first three (n, l, ml) specify the particular orbital of interest, and the fourth (ms) specifies how many electrons can occupy that orbital.
1 Principal Quantum Number (n): n = 1,
2, 3, …, ∞
Specifies the energy of an electron and the
size of the orbital (the distance from the nucleus
of the peak in a radial probability distribution plot). All
orbitals that have the same value of n are said to be in
the same shell (level). For a
hydrogen atom with n=1, the electron is in its ground
state; if the electron is in the n=2 orbital, it is
in an excited state. The total number of orbitals for a
given n value is n2.
l | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | ... |
Letter | s | p | d | f | g | h | ... |
The subshell with n=2 and l=1 is the 2p subshell; if n=3 and l=0, it is the 3s subshell, and so on. The value of l also has a slight effect on the energy of the subshell; the energy of the subshell increases with l (s < p < d < f).
n { shell} | l {subshell} | no.of orbitals | no.of electrons | orbital name | |
