Julie Perez · Answer 1

ii) the energy of the electron on the outer shell

iv) the overall size of an orbital

Explanation:

There are four quantum numbers to define the position and energy level of an electron in an atom

a) Principal : The principal quantum number (n) is to know the energy of an electron in an atom and its possible distance from the nucleus.

b) Azimuthal: It refers to the shape of the subshell or orbital of the electron and thus the angular distribution.

c) Magnetic: It refers to the number of orbits and their orientation in the subshell.

d) spin: It refers to the spin of the electron.
