Front

What is the relationship between the quantum number l and the shape of orbitals?

Back

l determines the shape of the orbital: l=0 (s), l=1 (p), l=2 (d), l=3 (f).

Front

What is the significance of the magnetic quantum number (m_l)?

Back

m_l indicates the orientation of the orbital in space.

Front

What is the spin quantum number (s)?

Back

s indicates the spin of the electron, which can be +1/2 or -1/2.
