For p rincipal quantum number n=4:

1) a zimuthal quantum number (l) can be l = 0 ... n-1:

l = 0, 1, 2, 3.

The azimuthal quantum number determines its orbital angular momentum and describes the shape of the orbital.

2) m agnetic quantum number (ml) can be ml = - l ... + l.

ml = - 3, - 2, - 1, 0, + 1, + 2, + 3.

Magnetic quantum number specify orientation of electrons in magnetic field and number of electron states (orbitals) in subshells.

3) t he spin quantum number (ms), is the spin of the electron.

ms = + 1/2, - 1/2.
