Understand that quantum numbers are used to describe the properties of atomic orbitals and the properties of electrons in orbitals.
Recognize that there are four quantum numbers: the principal quantum number (n), the azimuthal quantum number (l), the magnetic quantum number (m_l), and the spin quantum number (m_s).
Identify that to designate a particular orbital, you need the first three quantum numbers: n, l, and m_l.
The principal quantum number (n) indicates the energy level and size of the orbital.
The azimuthal quantum number (l) defines the shape of the orbital, and the magnetic quantum number (m_l) specifies the orientation of the orbital in space.
