Quantum Numbers:Quantum numbers are a set of integers that uniquely describe the state of an electron in an atom. They include the principal quantum number (n), the angular momentum quantum number (l), the magnetic quantum number (m), and the spin quantum number (s).
Pauli Exclusion Principle:The Pauli exclusion principle states that no two electrons in an atom can have the same set of quantum numbers. This means that each electron in an atom must occupy a unique state, defined by its quantum numbers.
Atomic Orbitals: Atomic orbitals are the wave functions that describe the behavior of electrons in an atom. They are characterized by the principal quantum number (n) and the angular momentum quantum number (l), which determine the size, shape, and energy of the orbital.
