Principal Quantum Number: The Key to Electron Shells

The video tutorial explains quantum numbers, focusing on the principal quantum number (N). It describes how quantum numbers predict electron position, spin, energy, and angular momentum. The principal quantum number determines energy levels, electron orbits, and their distance from the nucleus. As N increases, energy levels expand, and electron energy rises. The video also covers the electron capacity of energy levels, calculated using 2N², with examples from hydrogen atoms.
