It's the azimuthal quantum number. It specifies the angular momentum of the orbital, which can broadly speaking be thought of as its "shape." (The reason I'm putting that in quotation marks is that it's possible for two orbitals with the same azimuthal quantum number to appear rather different in overall shape.)

What does the second quantum number (I) describe?
Which sub level the electron is in.
What is the second quantum number for the electrons in the 4p energy sublevel of bromine?
The second quantum number (l) for the electrons in the 4 p energy sublevel of bromine would be 1.
What is the second quantum number of the 3p1 electron in aluminum?
The principal quantum number n = 3 and the azimuthal or orbital angular momentum quantum number would be l =1 .l = 1
What is the second quantum number of a 1s2 electron in phosphorus?

What does the second quantum number (l) describe?
Which sublevel the electron is in.
What does a quantum number describe?
n is the first quantum number. It is the principle quantum number. It refers to what energy level it is and will be one greater than the number of nodes in the orbital. l is the second quantum number. It is the angular momentum quantum number and refers to the shape of the orbital. ml is the third quantum number. It is the magnetic quantum number and it refers to the orientation of the orbital. ms is the fourth quantum number. It is the spin quantum number and refers to the magnetic character of the orbital.
Which quantum number deals with shape?
The second quantum number, or "l" which describes the subshell (s, p, d, f, etc).

What is the second quantum number of a 1s2 electron in phosphorus?
l=0
How do you know how many electrons need to go in the second shell?
The formula is 2n2 where n is the principal quantum number (the "shell" number). In this case the second shell has a principal quantum number of 2 so 2X 22 = 8
What does the second quantum number (l) describe?
Which sublevel the electron is in.
What information does the second quantum number of an electrons give?
The type of orbital the electron is in.
What is the second quantum number of a 3p3 electron in phosphorus 1s22s22p63s23p3?
l=1
