Interpretation:
The maximum number of electrons in an atom and their specified orbital are to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Principle quantum number describes the size of orbital by determining the number of shells in which the electron revolves in an atom. It is denoted by
Azimuthal quantum number confirms the shape of atomic orbital by determining the number of subshells or orbitals in which the electron revolves. It is denoted by
orbitals
Magnetic quantum number describes the orientation of orbitals in space. It is denoted by
Electron spin quantum number specifies the direction in which the electron spins. There are two directions in which the electron spins opposite each other.
