n-1 is the max l
This is the principal quantum number, n.
principal quantum number
An electron in an atom is described by four quantum numbers:n, the principal quantum numberl, the azimuthal quantum numberml, the magnetic quantum numberms, the spin angular momentum quantum numberThe principal quantum number is a positive integer: 1, 2, 3, etc.The azimuthal quantum number is a non-zero integer: 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.The relationship between n and l is that l must always be strictly less than n. So, for n=1, the only permissible l value is 0. For n=2, l can be 0 or 1. So the number of types of orbitals per level is equal to n.The relationship between l and ml is that ml is an integer between -l and +l. There are 2l+1 values of ml for any given value of l.Since each n, l, ml triple specifies an orbital, if you work it out it turns out that there are n2 orbitals with a given principal quantum number n.Each orbital can have two electrons (ms = +1/2 or -1/2), so there are twice that number of electrons.
The principal quantum number refers to the electron shell, or energy. Refer to the related link to read a Wikipedia article about quantum numbers.
it means the major level of orbital like 2S1, the 2 is the quantum number 3D4, the 3 is the quantum number
The principal quantum number n = 3 and the azimuthal or orbital angular momentum quantum number would be l =1 .l = 1
the answer is "no".
The principal quantum number of electrons has the symbol n.This number is always an integer.
These are: principal quantum number (n), azimutal quantum number (ł), magnetic quantum number (m), spin quantum number (sd).
The size of the orbital.
