Quantum Numbers: What the HECK!!

Quantum Numbers of Chemistry
describe location and movement of electron


n: principal quantum number
(always positive number, shows the energy level the electron is found in)


l: azimuthal quantum number
(shows the shape of orbital)


m_l: magnetic quantum number
(shows the orientation of the orbital in space)


m_{s: spin quantum number
(Shows the spin of the electron)}

The spin of the electron is either clockwise or counter-clockwise.
