Principal - Indicates the main energy level occupied by electrons.
Angular Momentum - Indicates the shape of the orbital.
Magnetic - Indicates the orientation of an orbital around the nucleus.
Spin - Only has 2 possible values, +1/2 and -1/2, which indicates two possible spin states of the electron.

∙ 14y agoA quantum number is a electron's 'address' Each electron's address is different. This is stated by the Paulli Exclusion Principle.
1st quantum number (principle)- principal energy level: indicates size, the more energy levels the bigger in size
2nd quantum number (azamuthal)-sublevel: indicates shape where s=0, p=1, d=2, and f=3. S orbitals are shaped like a sphere and p orbitals are shaped like an infinity symbol
3rd quantum number-orbital magnetic: show orentation is space
4th quantum number is spin +/- : whether arrow is pointing up or down in orbital
Ex for orbitals
s 0
p -1 0 1
d -2 1 0 1 2
f -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3
Ex: an address of 3,2,0, +1/2 means that the electron is in the 3rd energy level, is in the 2nd sublevel (because we said that the d=2 up there where it says 2nd quantum number), is in the 0 orbital (remember we said the d sublevel has orbitals -2 -1 0 1 2) and has a positive spin(is the arrow that is pointing up)
Hope this helped a little

How many quantum number are required to specify a single atomic orbital?
All four quantum numbers i.e principle ,azimuthal or subsidiary, magnetic and spin quantum numbers are required to specify a single atomic orbital.
Write four quantum numbers for 1s electron?
How are electrons arranged in the quantum mechanical model of an atom
How are quantum numbers different from an address?
The four quantum numbers, n, l, m1, and ms, are all solutions to Schrödinger's equation. These numbers are used to assign each electron in an atom an "address." They "uniquely characterize an electron and its state in an atom" ("Quantum Number").
How many electrons can have the quantum numbers n 5 ℓ 0 ml0?
There can be two electrons with those quantum numbers in an atom. Each electron is completely described by four quantum numbers. The one that's missing in the list provided is ms, which can have only two possible values (+1/2 and -1/2).
What does an four-group series of numbers separated by periods represent?

Names and symbols of the four quantum numbers required to define the energy of electrons in atoms?
These are: principal quantum number (n), azimutal quantum number (ł), magnetic quantum number (m), spin quantum number (sd).
What is used to show electrons in an atom?
Four quantum numbers are used to describe electrons in atoms.
How many electrons the third energy level can hold and explain why this is the case?
For each level (main quantum number) number "n", there are 2 times n squared electrons. The reasons are related to the Pauli Exclusion Principle, meaning that no two electrons can have the same values for all four quantum numbers.

What is a quantum number?
Four quantum numbers are used to describe electrons. The principle quantum number is the energy level of an electron. The angular momentum number is the shape of the orbital holding the electron. The magnetic quantum number is the position of an orbital holding an electron. The spin quantum number is the spin of an electron.
What is beryllium's quantum numbers?
the four sets of quantum numbers are: 2, 0, 0, +1/2 2, 0, 0, -1/2 1, 0, 0, +1/2 1, 0, 0, -1/2
What is 124x45x124x45 in square footage?
It is difficult to give a sensible answer to the question since there is no information on what the four numbers represent. The fact that the four numbers are multiplied together would, in mathematical terms, represent a body in 4-dimensional hyper-space. In such a case it is not clear what square footage would represent.
