QUANTUM NUMBERS

The quantum numbers, which are used to specify the energy, position and spin of an electron in an any atoms are called " Quantum numbers". These are 4 types of quantum numbers,

(1) PRINCIPLE QUANTUM NUMBER :-
                      
                                                  The principle quantum numbers telling about the distance of electrons from nucleus and energy.
                      Its represented by n, 
The total maximum number of electrons in orbit = 2n²,

K orbit     n=1,     2n² = 2× 1² = 2
L orbit     n= 2,    2n² = 2× 2² = 8
M orbit    n= 3,     2n² = 2× 3² = 18
N orbit    n= 4,     2n² = 2× 4² = 32

(2) AZIMUTHAL QUANTUM NUMBER :-

                                   It's telling about different types of subshell present in the shell.
                It's represented by 'l'.
For the given value of 'n' this value of 'l' will be 0 (zero) to ( n- 1)
                        The subshell are designated by small letters, s, p, d, f,........ This letter's comes from sharply, principle diffuse and fundamental lines of series in atomic spectra.

K shell, n=1, l=0 →s - subshell
L shell, n=2, l=0,1 →s,p- subshell
M shell, n=3, l=0,1,2 →s, p, d, - subshell
N shell, n=4, l=0,1,2,3, →s, p, d, f subshell
   
                                 The maximum numbers of electrons in subshell = 4l +2.        
s-subshell = 2.          p- subshell =6
d- subshell = 10.      f subshell = 14
                                  
                                      The shapes of the s-subshell is symmetrical spherical shape, p- subshell is dumbbell shape, d- subshell is double dumbbell shape, f- subshell is complicated (exactly not identified) 

The atomic orbital angular momentum of electron is determined by, 

          mvr = h/2π   √l (l+1)

(3) MAGNETIC QUANTUM NUMBER :-

It's telling about the orbitals of which a given subshell is composed, 
It's represented by "m" 
                                             This values of magnetic quantum number will be + l to - l and including zero. 
Note : subshell (or) sublevel, both are same
Magnetic quantum number is also called orientation quantum numbers. 

(4) SPIN - QUANTUM NUMBER :-

                   It's telling about the spinning electron around and it's own axis. It's represented by "s" 

The spin angular momentum of the electrons = h/2π √ s( s+ 1)

"s" can have two values +1/2 and - 1/2

        ↑                               ↓
    s = + 1/2                   s = - 1/2
