Jul 30, 2017 · The principal quantum number #n# specifies what energy level one is in: #n = 1, 2, 3, . . . # The angular momentum quantum number #l# describes the shape of the orbital.

Dec 12, 2017 · See the summary below... Without going into a long discussion on the allowed values for quantum numbers, the answers are: For any value of n, there are n^2 orbitals at that quantum level. …

The angular momentum quantum number l has a range... l = 0, 1, 2, . . . , n-1 where n = 1, 2, 3, ... is the principal quantum number. And each l corresponds to a shape, s,p,d,f,g,h,....

The key concept here to understand is that the quantum numbers are kind of like an address, with each quantum number giving even more specific information. n and l give you the rough equivalent of the …
