Four quantum numbers are used to describe electrons in atoms.
Atoms are things that make up elements and compounds Their behaviour varies depending on their state. Atoms in solids vibrate but don't move around Atoms in liquids move around but stick together. Gas particles are very free and they shoot about in the air
These are: principal quantum number (n), azimutal quantum number (ł), magnetic quantum number (m), spin quantum number (sd).
the number of valence electrons determine the reactivity of the atoms
The principal quantum number describes the size of the orbital. Because they have opposite electrical charges, electrons MORE.
use the quantum theory
There are two main models used today one being the bohr model and then there's the quantum mechanical modal
Erwin Schrodinger
Four quantum numbers are used to describe electrons in atoms.
The Bohr Model, and its the basis of quantum theory
In orbitals, quantum mechanical statistical clouds that can each hold a maximum of 2 electrons (one spin up, one spin down).
Molecular orbital theory determines molecular structure that the electrons are not assigned as individual bonds between atoms, however, are treated as moving under the influence of the nuclei in the whole molecule.

the modern description, primarily mathematical, of the behavior of electrons in atoms
These are: principal quantum number (n), azimutal quantum number (ł), magnetic quantum number (m), spin quantum number (sd).
Covalent bonds are held together by electrostatic (+/-) attractions between the nucleus of one atom and electrons from another atom and vice versa and there is also a quantum mechanical effect of delocalisation.
Although commonly depicted as circular orbits in simple diagrams of atoms, this is incorrect. The electrons occupy statistical quantum mechanical "clouds" called orbitals, each of which can contain no more than two electrons (if fully occupied the two electrons in the orbital must have opposite spin states).
