All about Quantum numbers

Describe the placement of an electron in atom, divide into four.
The principle quantum number (n): determine the energy of an orbital and has a value of n = 1,2,3,4…..
The angular momentum quantum number (l): determine the shape of an orbital and has a value of 0 to (n–1).
The magnetic quantum number (m): determine the orientation of the orbital and has a value of – m to + m.
The spin quantum number (ms): determine the magnetic field generated by the electron and has a value of – ½ and + ½.
