Quantum Numbers

The document provides a chart for students to complete describing the four quantum numbers: principal (n), angular momentum (l), magnetic (ml), and spin (ms). It defines each quantum number, the letter used to represent it, its characteristics, and formulas. The principal quantum number (n) describes the electron shell or energy level. The angular momentum quantum number (l) describes the shape of the electron's orbital. The magnetic quantum number (ml) distinguishes orbitals within a subshell. The spin quantum number (ms) gives insight into the electron's spin direction.
