    Quantum number L, angular quantum number, describes the shape of the orbitals. Reliable sources show that the quantum number l = 0 will give an orbital of spherical shape, polar if l = 1, and cloverleaf if l = 2.

    The third quantum number is m which is is used to denote the magnetic quantum number. This describes the orientation of a certain orbital in shape. This quantum number can take the values of - l to l. Thus, the only value for m in this case is 0. m = 0.

    Quantum numbers are used to describe the position of the electrons in the orbitals.
